What is a cookie?
Like many other web sites, we use cookies. Cookies can help a website to personalise your visit. A cookie is a small piece of text which can be stored on your computer, smartphone or other device you use to surf the web. Cookies have many uses, but fundamentally they are used to store information about you on your computer. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the lifetime of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
Types of Cookies
- Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that only remain in your browser cookie file until you leave the site. This information is not stored after you have left the site.
- Persistent cookies: These remain in your browser cookie file for much longer. (The length of time will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie, but this may be indefinitely or until deleted).
EU cookie directive
From 26 May 2011 a new European Union directive required all websites to gain the consent of our users to download cookies on to their machines. On 24 May 2012, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) released new guidance which said that a website can operate with cookies through ‘implied consent.’
Implied consent
There are various methods available to use to gain users' consent such as pop-ups or online forms; however, we consider both of these solutions as obtrusive. We want our users to find information and services quickly, and following the ICO’s May 2012 release, we have taken the decision to promote how we use cookies on our website and provide you with enough information to control your own settings. Implied consent means that by using our website, you agree to cookies being set. If users want to disable cookies, this policy gives you information on how to do this.
We will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about you. However, if you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by our website, or indeed any other website, you can do this through your browser settings. Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact the Eurobase website from working to its full functionality.
How to disable cookies
You can stop cookies being downloaded on to your computer by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this and other website.
