Cookies are common on the Internet and do no harm to your system. They are small, harmless text files that web servers sometimes store on your computer's hard drive when you visit a site. Cookies allow web servers to recognise you when you revisit a site, so that your details and settings are remembered. In this way cookies help you do things online by, for example, inputting your password and name every time you go to a site. There are two main types of cookie: 1) Transient (or per-session) cookies: only last for the duration of your visit to a site. They are used to recognise you as you move from page to page, for example, recording the items you add to an online shopping basket. They are deleted when you leave. Such cookies can also help maintain session integrity and security. 2) Persistent (or permanent) cookies: remain on your machine until they expire or until they're deleted. Many will be built with an automatic deletion date to ensure that they delete themselves harmlessly at this time, thereby ensuring that your hard drive doesn't get filled up with these tiny files. Often this type of cookie is used to store and re-enter login information for you, so that you don't need to remember long site membership numbers. Blondesoft.com makes use of both types of cookie in order to maximise the security of our services and to ensure you always get an optimal service from our Site. Blondesoft.com does not use cookies to track people's use of the Internet after leaving our Site, nor do we store any information about you in cookies that others (including other sites) could read and understand. Blondesoft.com will not sell or distribute information gathered by cookies without your prior permission or consent.
