Information and explanation on internet cookies

COOKIES EXPLAINED

If you use the internet, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of cookies. Also known as HTML cookies, tracking cookies or magic cookies, these tiny files are automatically downloaded by your computer when you’re browsing online.

Don’t worry - they’re perfectly safe. We’d like to take a moment to explain what cookies do; which ones we use and how to block them - if you really want to. By continuing to browse CBSarena.co.uk, you are agreeing to our use of cookies.

Let’s start at the beginning.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are very small text and numerical files that are stored on your browser or computer hard drive when you browse websites like wasps.co.uk if you agree.

Most websites use cookies in some form or another. While you’re busy browsing, they work quietly behind the scenes – saving important information that makes viewing web pages easier for you.

For example, one cookie remembers the order in which you’ve viewed web pages. That way, when you hit the ‘Back’ button in your browser, it will flick through them in the right order.

Cookies also send useful information to us – such as which pages on the Arena website you’ve visited, which you’ve spent the most time on, and what time of day you visited. All of this helps us to improve CBSarena.co.uk for the next time you visit.

Cookies are safe and the information they collect is completely anonymous.
