Cookies FAQ:What is a Cookie? A Cookie is a small
string of text that is stored on your PC's hard disk, unless you delete it
(or it expires). It is not a computer program, and cannot harm the data on
your PC. How do I know when I have received a
Cookie? You need to switch on the 'Alert before accepting Cookies'
option in your browser. Should I switch on the alert? It's up
to you. However, increasingly, sites are using more and more Cookies that
expire when you switch off your browser; it can become tiresome to see so
many alerts. What are Cookies for? Cookies have two
functions. The first is to 'maintain state of an application'. Basically,
this means that each time you come back to a site, you begin where you left
off. For instance, you may only need to register to enter a site once. The
second function is to track your path through the site. What does Tracking your Path mean? Tracking your path can help the site provider optimise the site, based on
popular paths or pages. You may feel that this knowledge of your usage -
with which the site provider could set up a profile of your particular
habits - is an unwelcome intrusion into your privacy. However, bear in mind
that no personally identifiable data is being collected. It only identifies
your computer to our servers when you visit our site. What is The Gourmet Saint's policy? First, we never pass statistical data on to third parties. All The Gourmet
Saint sites that use Cookies explain how they are being used. What is The Gourmet Saint's use of
Cookies? Cookies may be used to track your path through a site. They may
also be used to identify registered users, allowing members to access
registration controlled information. Should I delete Cookies? Again, it's
up to you. If you feel that Cookies are an intrusion into your privacy, you
can delete them or turn off cookies in your browser controls. However, we
recommend that you do not delete them. This will usually decrease your
access to useful information on subsequent visits to the site. Can Cookies be stolen from my PC? No.
The information stored on your PC will only be transmitted to the server
that sent them in the first place. How do I delete Cookies? Go to your
Cookies folder, usually called 'Cookies' on your hard drive
(C:\windows\Cookies, for example), select them and delete them in the normal
way. Why are they called 'Cookies'. Has this
anything to do with The Gourmet Saint? Unfortunately not. For more
