Cookie Policy.
Internet “cookies” are extremely common. They’re stored on everyone’s computer and don’t harm your system.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your browser as you surf the web.
Contrary to a common belief, cookies do not contain software programs, so cannot install anything on a computer.
Cookies generally do not contain any information that would identify a person. Usually they contain a string of text or “unique identifier”. This acts like a label. When a website sees the string of text it set in a cookie, it knows the browser is one it has seen before.
If you use a different computer, open a new web browser or delete your cookies, the website will treat you as if you have arrived for the first time (and a new cookie will be set).
You can find out more about cookies by visiting http://www.allaboutcookies.org
