WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small text file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive by websites you visit.  They are widely used to make websites work and to function more effectively.  Without some of these cookies, the website simply would not work.

A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personally identifiable information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

A cookie will typically contain a record of the website which issued it, its own name, and a value which is often a randomly generated unique number. A cookie will have a ‘lifetime’, which tells your browser when to delete it.

THE LAW

The principal law which governs how websites use cookies and similar technologies when storing information on a user’s equipment, such as their computer or mobile device, is the Directive 2009/136/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25  November 2009 amending  Directive 2002/58/EC concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications). The change in the law was prompted by concerns about online tracking of individuals and is intended to protect the privacy of users by requiring their knowledge and agreement to the use of cookies, even where the information collected is not directly personally identifiable.
