Cookies are pieces of information that a website can transfer to an individual’s computer hard drive for record keeping. Cookies can make using websites easier to use by storing information about your preferences on a particular website. The information remains on your computer after the Internet session finishes.
This site uses session cookies, which store a single random string of letters and numbers identifying a user’s session. This string is then linked to a file on our server which contains your email and encrypted password details for the member portion of this website. Note that these details are only stored when you log into the site, and are removed when you log out via the “logout” button in the “members” menu.
