What are cookies?

You can set your browser to alert you when a cookie is being used, and accept or reject the cookie.

If, however, you have created a user identity, for example, by signing up to use a password-protected area on one of our Sites, we may link the information collected via cookies to other information that identifies you personally.

Why do we use cookies?
