What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing information about choices you have made while browsing internet sites. These files are saved on your computer and read by the site when you visit again.

What are they used for?

Many sites use cookies in order to offer customisation options to their visitors. Choices made by the visitor that have been saved in a cookie can be retrieved by the site (when the visitor returns) and processed to offer personal options that would otherwise be difficult to maintain.

Cookies are also used to collect personal information about the visitor. Sometimes this is done passively, such as when cookies are used to store information about a visitor's clickpath through a site in order to build up a behaviour pattern. Other times, cookies are used to store personal information more explicitly, such as to remember usernames, passwords (usually encrypted), or other values submitted by a form.

For your privacy, this site gathers absolutely no personal information. Cookies are only used to store your accessibility and site preferences.
