About Cookies

A cookie is a piece of information which a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer. The browser saves the information and sends it back to the website server whenever the browser returns to the website.

A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the Cookie (i.e. when does it expire), and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

Two types of cookies are used on this website:

• Session Cookies which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site.
• Persistent Cookies are cookies which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).
