What are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information that an Internet Site might store on your computer or access device. They allow Internet Sites to remember who you are. Typically, your browser will store each cookie as a small text file. A cookie will always contain the domain name of the originating Internet Site. For security, only the originating Internet Site has permission to read the cookie.
How Cookies are Used
When you log in to the Internet Site the Company will set a cookie containing a randomly generated unique reference number. This anonymous number allows the Company to identify you. The Company will never store your personal information directly as a cookie. If, as you log in, you tick the checkbox labelled "Remember me", a persistent cookie will be set. Persistent cookies are not deleted when you close your browser and will allow the Internet Site to recognise you on your next visit.
Why does the Company use Cookies?
Advanced features of the site use Cookies to provide information you requested and to reduce you having to key in repeated fields. Cookies allow the Company to see how the Internet Site is being used. This information forms the basis of future development work, and so enables the Company to continually improve its Internet Site to best suit its users. They also allow the Internet Site to remember you when you log-in saving you needing to login.
