Cookies
Cookies allow us to automatically identify you so that we can deliver news and content best suited to you. When you enter our site your computer will automatically be issued with a Cookie, which is a text file, which identifies your computer to our server. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just the computer used. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their site, in order to trace traffic flows. Cookies themselves only record which areas of the site have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is set, or not to receive cookies at any time, although this of course means that personalised services cannot then be provided to that user. Allowing us to create a cookie does not give us access to the rest of your computer and we will not use cookies to track your online activity once you leave our site.
