Cookie policy
We need to talk to you about cookies. No, not the kind you eat (unfortunately). The kind of cookies we need to talk to you about may not be as tasty, but they are very important.
Cookies explained
In a nutshell, cookies are small files that websites put onto your computer when you visit them. They’re used to store information for a variety of purposes.
For example, when you login to a website and tick the “Remember me” button, a cookie is used to temporarily store your login details for the next time you visit that site. When you visit a shopping site and add something to your cart, a cookie is used to save your items there until you’re ready to buy.
Cookies are also used for other purposes, such as to help companies see how many people visit their site and how they got there.
For more information about what cookies are and what they do, have a read of this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie
