A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser,

server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This
enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We [may] use [both] [“session” cookies] [and “persistent” cookies] on
the website.  [We will use the session cookies to: keep track of you
whilst you navigate the website; and [OTHER USES].]  [We will use the
persistent cookies to: enable our website to recognise you when you
visit; [OTHER USES].]
[Session cookies will 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.]
[We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website.  Google
Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use
by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers.  The
information generated relating to our website is used to create reports
about the use of the website. Google will store this information.
Google's privacy policy is available at:
[Our [advertisers/payment services providers] may also send you
cookies.]
[We publish Google Adsense interest-based advertisements on our website.
These are tailored by Google to reflect your interests.  To determine
your interests, Google will track your behaviour across the web using
cookies.  You can view, delete or add interest categories associated
with your browser using Google's Ads Preference Manager, available at:
http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. You can opt-out of the Adsense
partner network cookie at: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.
However, this opt-out mechanism uses a cookie, and if you clear the
cookies from your browser your opt-out will not be maintained. To ensure
that an opt-out is maintained in respect of a particular browser, you
should use the Google browser plug-in available at:
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers
allow you to reject just third party 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.  Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact
upon the usability of many websites[, including this one].]
