(3) Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web
browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent
back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the
server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web
browser.
We [may] use [both] ["session" cookies] [and "persistent" cookies]
on the website. [We will use the session cookies to: keep
track of you whilst you navigate the website; and [other uses].]
[We will use the persistent cookies to: enable our website to
recognise you when you visit; and [other uses].]
[Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close
your browser.] [Persistent cookies will remain stored on your
computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry
date.]
[We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website.
Google Analytics generates statistical and other information
about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users'
computers. The information generated relating to our website
is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will
store this information. Google's privacy policy is available at:
http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.
[Our [advertisers/payment services providers] may also send you
cookies.]
[We publish Google Adsense interest-based advertisements on our
website. These are tailored by Google to reflect your
interests. To determine your interests, Google will track
your behaviour across the web using cookies. You can view,
delete or add interest categories associated with your browser
using Google's Ads Preference Manager, available at:
http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. You can opt-out of
the Adsense partner network cookie at:
http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. However, this opt-out
mechanism uses a cookie, and if you clear the cookies from your
browser your opt-out will not be maintained. To ensure that an
opt-out is maintained in respect of a particular browser, you
should use the Google browser plug-in available at:
http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/plugin.]
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers
allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in
Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking "Tools",
"Internet Options", "Privacy", and selecting "Block all cookies"
using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will,
however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many
websites[, including this one].]
