Understanding cookies

Some Web sites store information in a small text file, called a "cookie," on your hard disk.

Cookies contain information about you and your preferences. For example, as with Healthsites.co.uk it might only contain a record of which starting page within the site you visited, to help the site customize the view for you the next time you visit. For instance it will automatically open to your preference of Patientzone or Doctorzone. It does not limit your use of the site.

Only the information that you provide, or the choices you make while visiting a Web site, can be stored in a cookie. For example, the site cannot determine your e-mail name unless you choose to type it. Allowing a Web site to create a cookie does not give that or any other site access to the rest of your computer, and only the site that created the cookie can read it.

Internet Explorer is set up to allow the creation of cookies; however, you can specify that you be prompted before a site puts a cookie on your hard disk, so you can choose to allow or disallow the cookie; or you can prevent Internet Explorer from accepting any cookies.

You can specify different settings for different security zones. For example, you might want to allow Web sites to create cookies if they are in your Trusted sites or Local intranet zone, prompt you before creating cookies if they are in your Internet zone, and never allow cookies if they are in your Restricted sites zone.

If you do not allow Cookies then you will only have very limited access to the full resources of Healthsites.co.uk

To adjust your settings in Internet Explorer go to Tools / Internet Options / Security / Custom Level / Cookies - Select - Disable / Enable / Prompt - OK - OK
