What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to remember who you are.
A cookie typically contains the name of the website from which it has come, the lifespan of the cookie and a value. The value is usually a unique code that will only make sense to the website that has issued it. Cookies remember things like your colour scheme preferences, what’s in your shopping cart or that you’ve already logged in so you don’t need to do it for every page you visit on a website. Cookies can also be used to measure how people use websites and what kind of browsers or devices they’re using.
How CEFM uses cookies
Our website uses four cookies. A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we put on your computer if you agree. These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of the website which helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.
The cookies we use on our website are ‘analytical’ cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the site when they’re using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example by making sure users are finding what they need easily.
