What Are Cookies?
Our website works best with cookies. They allow us to see how the site is being used.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, mobile phone or other device you use when you browse certain websites. These files contain data that can be accessed by a web server, letting it know if the user has visited the site before. They are often used to tailor a web page with settings that are specific to the user, for instance; when a browser stores your username and password.
The time of expiration of a cookie depends on the type of cookie it is. Session cookies expire once you close down your browser. Persistent cookies do not expire once you close down your browser - they remain on your hard disk until their later expiration date or they are deleted. We use both session and persistent cookies on our website. For further general information regarding cookies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org (http://www.allaboutcookies.org).
