About Cookies

A cookie is the name for a small file that’s downloaded to your PC or other device when you’re visiting certain websites. The cookie then gets sent back to that website when you visit it again. Cookies allow a website to recognise a user’s device, and thus you, the user. This in turn allows the website owner to give you a more ‘personalised experience’ when you use their site.

didbook Cookies

The cookies we use are as follows:

• Session Cookies
  Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browser session. When the browser is closed the cookie is deleted from a user’s device. didbook sets its own Session Cookie to check that you are safely logged in. This cookie does not collect or store personal data, so individuals cannot be identified by it. In addition to the didbook Session Cookie, we also set Session Cookies from Google (see below) to help track how didbook is used so that we can improve our service.
• Persistent Cookies
  Persistent Cookies are saved on a user’s device for a fixed period (typically one year or more) and are not deleted when the browser session is closed. didbook sets a Persistent Cookie related to a user's didbook identifier, which is used when a user logs in to their didbook. This cookie is essential for users logging in to didbook. This Persistent Cookie is randomised or nulled on log-out, so retains no user information for future use. We also set Persistent Cookies from Google for analytical purposes. One such cookie tracks the number of visits by a unique user and another tracks where the user came from (e.g. search engine or other link) and where in the world the user is located when accessing the site.
• Third Party Cookies
  Other than Google’s analytical cookies described above we currently don't use any third party cookies - if this were to change we'll let you know.

The Internet browser you use on your device allows you to manage cookies. You can modify your browser to notify you when cookies are being set. You can also set it to accept or refuse all or some cookies. You can even delete cookies that have already been set.

Because each browser is different, the specific way you amend the settings for cookies will vary from browser to browser; the Help function within your browser should tell you how. Alternatively, you can visit www.aboutcookies.org where you will find information on managing cookies on a wide variety of desktop browsers. On mobile devices, you may need to refer to the manual for that device for details on how to amend preferences.

Please note that completely disabling cookies when using didbook will not allow you to make full use of all didbook's features and functionality.
