Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data, often including a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone browser from a website and is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Websites can send cookies to your browser if your preferences allow it, but to protect your privacy, a website can only access cookies that it has already sent to you. Many websites do this whenever a user visits, in order to track levels of online traffic.
On the CPA UK website, cookies record your preferences to allow us to tailor the website to your needs. Users can set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is received, or to not receive any cookies at all. The latter means that some features cannot be provided, therefore you may not be able to enjoy the full website experience.
When you visit the CPA UK website, the pages you see are downloaded to your device along with a cookie. Many websites do this to understand whether the device (and therefore probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done by checking to see it can find the cookie left there on the previous visit.
Each internet browser works differently, so check the "Help" menu to find out how to change your cookie preferences.
Information gathered by cookies helps us to analyse our website visitors and provide you with a better user experience.
In some areas of the CPA UK website we may embed photos and video content from websites such as YouTube and Flickr. Therefore when you visit a page with content embedded, you may be presented with cookies from these websites. CPA UK does not control the distribution of these cookies. You will need to check the relevant third party website for more information.
