Cookie Policy
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer by your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox etc). Your browser creates and stores this file when instructed to do so by a website and this happens behind-the-scenes, so you don't particularly realise that it happened.
Are cookies bad?
No, absolutely not!
Despite getting a bad press at times, cookies should not be grouped with "viruses", "trojans", "malware" and other scary-sounding IT nasties.
Why use cookies?
A website typically creates a cookie when there is a genuine and reasonable need to do so and this is most often to:
- record a user's preferences
- or acknowledge that a user has logged in to the website
- or preserve some information until the user's next visit
For example, when you enter your location on some websites, your choice is recorded in a cookie so that the next time you visit the site, you may get information relevant to your location.
When you add a product to an online shopping basket, the details might be stored in a cookie so that as you move around the website, the website remembers the contents of your shopping basket.
If a website does not use cookies, it will consider that you are a new visitor every time you visit the site - in other words, that website will have no means of remembering your preferences or keeping you logged in.
Some cookies - commonly known as "tracking cookies" - are used to keep a record of a user's browsing habits and it's the use of these cookies and their "big brother" connotations that have caused the recent consternation.
