(2) Cookies

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

GDH may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the website. GDH will use the session cookies to: keep track of you whilst you navigate the website; GDH will use the persistent cookies to: enable our website to recognise you when you visit.

Session cookies will normally be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date.

GDH uses Google Analytics and Alexa to analyse the use of this website.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.)
