COOKIESWhen you allow cookies to be activated it simply means that a small file is placed on your own device, containing information that will help you when you visit again, i.e. your name and address details could automatically be filled in for you because your own browser recognises the site via the cookies.
In a nutshell we use cookies:
So what exactly are cookies?First, and contrary to popular belief, cookies are NOT programs. They don’t do anything at all. They are simple ’text files’ which you can read using the Notebook program on your own PC. Typically, they contain two pieces of information: a site name and unique user ID.
When you visit a site that uses cookies for the first time, a
cookie is downloaded onto your PC. The next time you visit that
site, your PC checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant
(that is, one containing the site name) and sends the
information contained in that cookie back to the site.
The site then ’knows’ that you have been there before, and in some cases, tailors what pops up on screen to take account of that fact. For instance, it can be helpful to vary content according to whether this is your first ever visit to a site – or your 71st.
Some cookies are more sophisticated. They might record how
long you spend on each page on a site, what links you click,
even your preferences for page layouts and colour schemes.
They can also be used to store data on what is in your
‘shopping cart’, adding items as you click.
The possibilities are endless, and generally the role of cookies is beneficial, making your interaction with frequently-visited sites smoother - for no extra effort on your part. Without cookies, online shopping would be much harder. Are cookies safe? Yes. The information stored in cookies is safe and anonymous to any external third party, and your security is never compromised. You can find more information about cookies at http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ and www.youronlinechoices.com/.
