This website uses “cookies” in order to provide certain interactive services. If you do not wish to accept cookies, please see the section below on disabling cookies in your browser.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files sent from a website to your computer where they are stored by your web browser. Every time you go back to the same website, the browser retrieves this file and sends the information in it to the website server. Cookies are not programmes, and they do not carry viruses. While you can delete cookies from your computer and disable the saving of cookies by your web browser, doing so may prevent you from using some features of certain websites. Cookies can be created not just by the website you are browsing, but also by other websites that run advertisements, widgets or other elements on the page being loaded. These cookies regulate how advertisements appear or how the widgets and other elements function on the page. Without cookies, you would not be able, for example, to use an online shopping cart or preserve your user preferences.
Cookies used by this site
A Session ID, which is used to enable administrators of the website to log in. This cookie does not contain any personal information which could identify the user, and is therefore minimally intrusive. It is used solely to enable site administrators to log in to the site, but is not required by ordinary users.
A cookie called has_js which records whether or not JavaScript is enabled in your browser. This information is used when you visit a web page which uses JavaScript to perform a function such as playing a video. This cookie is valid only for the current browsing session. Because the only information it stores is in the form of a 1 or a 0, indicating whether JavaScript is enabled, it is therefore minimally intrusive.
