What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file of letters and numbers sent to your computer when you visit a website. It’s stored in your web browser (such as Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari etc). It allows the website to recognise you if you have visited before and stores some information about your preferences or past actions. Whenever you visit the same website again, the information stored in the cookie can be retrieved to notify our website (and only our website) of your previous activity. A cookie cannot give us access to your computer.
A cookie contains the name of the server it came from, the lifetime of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
This Cookies Policy should be read in conjunction with Wildlife Vets International’s Privacy Notice.
