Cookies explained:

What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files that are sent by websites that you visit to recognise who you are when you return there.
There files are stored on your computer’s hard drive, and are read by your web browser.

How are cookies used?
Cookies perform several functions, such as remembering who you are on a particular site (your welcome message), to keeping you signed in to your account screen on an ecommerce site
(however, you should always sign out if you are using a public computer). Advertising agencies also use cookies to find out if they have served you an advert from a particular brand on a site,
or if you have seen a particular advert before. Website owners will use cookies to follow which pages that you’ve read so that they can see what parts of the site are popular or not.
In short, cookies are a way of providing statistics on site visits as well as some limited functionality that makes your site visit easier. When used properly cookies are an asset to a site
visitor and a site owner. They are not viruses, but some unscrupulous outfits will use them maliciously – we follow best practice for cookie use.
There are a number of options available so that you do not have to store any cookies at all. You can either set your browser so that it will not accept and store any cookie, or if you have a
little more time and knowledge you are able to allow only certain ‘trusted’ sites to store cookies on your computer. These sites may include this site, the site where you carry out your
online banking, or possibly your favourite news service. It’s worth bearing in mind that if you decide to delete all of your cookies, then you will likely have to re-enter all of your usernames and
passwords on all of the sites that you visit, which you previously didn’t even have to think about. As mentioned before, cookies can be a real asset to your web surfing experience.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (http://www.ico.gov.uk/) provides some advice about cookies and their use, it also provides a link to ‘About cookies’ (www.aboutcookies.org) which
is run by the law firm Pinsent Masons. This website provides even more information about cookies, it also details how you might delete any cookies that you find and it shows you how to allow
those trusted sites to store their cookies on your computer.
