1\. Session Cookie. When you log in or register on a DefenceTalk web site, DefenceTalk’s web servers send a string of text called a “cookie” to your browser, which stores it in its memory. The text identifies DefenceTalk and includes a string of numbers that represent your rights to access restricted material on DefenceTalk’s web sites. As your browser connects to DefenceTalk sites, it automatically sends the cookie information back to DefenceTalk’s servers so that your access rights can be determined very quickly. In addition to this, some of our services (Forums, Gallery, etc.) need to recall selections you have made during your session so that they display the correct information to you. In both cases, when you close your browser, this cookie information disappears. It is never written to a file on your machine.

The second area is on Police Review where we use persistent cookies to prevent the re-appearance of the poll and the main entry pages, this is done to improve the user experience. If you do not accept cookies then these will always re-appear.
