What is a cookie?
Besides being a tasty treat, which we wish we could send you electronically every time you visit our website, a cookie is a chunk of data – usually stored as text file – that is placed on your device when you visit a particular website.
The cookie is used to identify your device to the website when you visit again so the site can load your preferences, automatically accept your credentials, or provide anonymised tracking data to third party applications such as Google Analytics.
Cookies do not store personal information about you, just information identifying your device. As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better.
You may choose to disable cookies on this site and on others. The most effective way to do this is to disable cookies in your browser. We suggest consulting the Help section of your browser or taking a look at the About Cookies website which offers guidance for all modern browsers.
Please note that the member services features of our website (e.g. access to our Journal or Conference Proceedings), are dependent on cookies to work properly.
