Like most websites, this one uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your browser. They’re used for many things, such as remembering whether you’ve visited the site before, so that you remain logged in – or to help us work out how many new website visitors we get each month. They contain information about the use of your computer but don’t include personal information about you (they don’t store your name, for instance). You can think of cookies as providing a “memory” for the website, enabling it to recognise a user and respond appropriately. Each web domain can only access cookies stored by that specific web domain, meaning that only the ‘Tullibardine Smiddy Ltd’ servers can access the cookies set by the ‘Tullibardine Smiddy Ltd’ domain.
