- What is a cookie?
A cookie is a tiny element of data that is stored on your
computer’s hard drive by your web browser when you access a
website. The Site may make use of the following types of cookie
technology:
- “Session cookies”, which contain a random ID number
automatically allocated to your computer by the webserver for the

of the Site faster and easier. Session cookies will be deactivated
within a reasonable period of inactivity on the Site and will be
automatically removed from your computer when you close your
browser.
-
“Script generated cookies” which are automatically
allocated to your computer when you register to access any
restricted areas of the Site and on each subsequent visit. Such
cookies only contain an identifier which will enable the Site to
identify you as a registered user so that you do not have to
identify yourself again while you move from one server to another

your visit until you remove them and will be placed again at your
next visit.

not provide personal data about you to these third party
advertisers or affiliates or to any other third party.
