The Legal Terms and Conditions governing access to and use of the Web site are set out below.

1. Introduction.
A cookie is a small piece of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk so that the website can 'remember' things about your previous and current visits.

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. Most major websites use cookies. Please note: Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.

Cookies are used in one feature of the Web site in Traffic Analysis. The Web site uses cookies to give each visitor a unique ID. The server will place a cookie containing a unique number on the visitor’s computer when they arrive on the Web site for the first time.
