EU Cookie Directive
The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (The EU Cookie Directive)
The "EU Cookie Directive" requires that users must give permission for a website to store cookies. There are exceptions where the cookie is an essential part of delivering a service, and the main thrust of the legislation seems to be to allow site users to opt out from intrusive "tracking cookies" that allow website operators or third parties to record the browsing habits of users or other non-essential cookies.
The session cookie is temporary but necessary for logged in users of the website.
Persistent cookies are set for registered, logged in users who have chosen to have their login details remembered. If you do not wish to have these cookies stored on your PC then do not check the "Remember me" checkbox when signing in.
