Cookies

We use very few cookies on this site, and certainly do not use cookies to send data to third parties for advertising purposes. The three types of cookies we use are:

A “session” cookie. These hold no personal data and are used purely for managing your log in and log out. They remain on your system during your use of the service, and are then deleted when you log out or close your browser.
“Remember Me” log in cookie. A small cookie again holding no personal information that is used to automatically log you in to your account when you access the site. This is a persistent cookie that remains after you close the browser. You can remove the cookie by logging out of the system. It is recommended that you do not use the “Remember Me” feature on publicly accessible computers.
A data analysis cookie. This sends data to an external analytics service to help us understand where new users come from and what parts of the site are used. No personal information is sent to this service, and this service does not use this data for their own use. It is only accessible by us for our internal purposes. It is an external service but not accessed by a third party. The analysis provided is aggregated to provide statistics of our website users in general and does not include data harvested from elsewhere.
A "Cookie Permission" cookie. This helps us annoy you less by recording that you have already given your permission to use cookies, and thus we don't have to keep asking you again and again.
