A cookie is a tiny piece of information which is sent from a web

write to your hard disk for use again on another visit
(permanent).
i) Our Temporary Cookies
When you enter your login details to the Site, the username and
password are checked against records held in our database. If they
match successfully, then the login is authenticated, and our server
sends a temporary cookie back to your web browser. This cookie
contains information which enables the server to identify the fact
that you have already logged in successfully. This is required in
order to check that you are authorised to view protected pages
within the Site, which are reserved for members only.
ii) Our Permanent Cookies

will already contain the username as it was when someone last
logged in successfully from the PC.

the number of visitors to the Site and to see how visitors move
around the Site when they are using it. This helps us to improve
the way the Site works, for example by ensuring that users are
finding what they are looking for easily.
