Cookies
Cookies are small amounts of information, which We may store on Your computer. Unless You
have indicated Your objection when first accessing our site or disclosing Your details to Us, Our
system may issue cookies to Your computer when You log on to Our Site. Cookies make it easier
for You to log on to and use Our Site during future visits. They also allow Us to monitor website
traffic and to personalise the content of Our Site for You. You may set up your computer to reject
cookies by activating the setting on Your browser which allows You to refuse the setting of cookies
although, in that case, You may not be able to use certain features on Our Site. Unless You have
adjusted Your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, Our system will issue cookies when You
log on to Our Site.
Cookies we use
BIGipServerZebedee cookie & TS01237438 cookie - are set when You move from one page to
another page in Our site; classed as "strictly necessary" for the functioning of Our site, and as such
they are exempt from the normal requirement of user consent for the use of cookies.
Neither of these two cookies store personally identifiable information, and both of them (as
"session cookies") are deleted when You close Your browser session.
Coookieconsent_dismiss cookie is set when You click the “Got it!” message about cookie usage.
This occurs on Your first usage only of Our website from an IP address. If You visit Our website
from a different IP address (a different computer or following a reboot of your router), the cookie
consent banner will be displayed again.
More info: BIGipServerZebedee cookie is part of the back-end architecture of the hosting service
that manages the site. It belongs to the class of "load-balancing cookies". The load-balancing
cookie is required to track which server You are communicating with, in order to present a
consistent user experience as You move from page to page. It routes data and page requests to
the correct server and so ensures that the content of the page loads quickly and effectively. The TS
cookie basically has to do with enforcing elements in the security policy with regard to database
management in the hosting servers. The Cookieconsent cookie confirms that You have agreed to
accept cookies from Our site.
Managing your cookies
You will find more information about cookies at www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org,

is human or technical).
We will do Our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third

important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not

to them. Where We do moderate an interactive service, We will normally provide You with a means
of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
