COOKIES POLICY
Cookies are placed on our website computers to identify it to our server. Cookies do not identify individual users, only the computer used.

To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set up on our site and how to manage and delete them from your computer,
The UK government has updated the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations in response to the EU Privacy Directive. In light of this the Information Commissioner’s Office has provided guidance on the EU Cookie Law which came into effect in May 2012. Information on the cookies WCBT uses is provided below, along with options for deleting and/or disabling cookies on your computer.
Cookies are small text files that the websites you visit place on your computer to store information about your visit. Cookies are ‘passive’ in that they contain information your browser can retrieve, but do not contain programmes, viruses or malicious software. Cookies normally expire after a certain length of time, although that time can be anywhere from a few minutes to more than a year. Cookies can be divided into two categories: ‘session’ and ‘persistent’. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser or after a period of inactivity. Persistent cookies remain on your computer until the expiration date/time set by the cookie creator.
Cookies can contain many types of information about your visit to a particular web site, but most commonly are used to store the preferences you’ve selected, such as language, shopping cart contents, privacy settings and login state. Cookies do not contain personal or private data about you, but can compile information about your browsing habits. For the most part, cookies enhance your browsing experience by keeping you from having to select the same options each time you visit a site. However, cookies can also be used by websites to serve you advertising material targeted to your particular interests based on the preferences you’ve selected or the content of the pages you have visited. For this reason, some web users choose to delete or reject cookies of certain types or from certain sites.

Most cookies you will encounter when browsing the WCBT website are considered ‘third party’ cookies. This simply means the WCBT website has used a feature supplied by an external provider, such as Facebook or Google Analystics which sets the cookie. Third party cookies are not inherently more or less risky than first party cookies. The only thing to bear in mind is that the external provider, not WCBT, determines what type of information is stored and how it is used. The most common type of cookie used on WCBT’s web site is set by Google Analytics, which provides anonymous statistical data to us to show usage trends and to aid in making decisions about what types of content are most popular.
No, when a user returns to a website associated with a particular web server, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again.
Some cookies may be ‘strictly necessary’ for a service requested by the user and are exempted from this requirement. However, we will ask you for your permission for all the cookies that we use on our site.
