1.        What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files or pieces of information that are stored on your computer or mobile device (such as a smartphone or tablet) when you visit our Digital Media. A cookie will usually contain the name of the website/application from which the cookie has come from, the duration of the cookie (i.e., how long the cookie will remain on your device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number. Cookies are designed as a reliable mechanism to store status information on websites (such as items added to the shopping cart) or to record the user's browsing habits (including clicking certain buttons, logging in or recording past pages visited), but they can also be used to remember information previously entered by the user in form fields (e.g. names, addresses, passwords and credit card numbers).

Browsers can automatically accept or reject cookies, although you can change these settings. The help menu of most browsers shows you how to change your browser settings regarding cookies, how the browser notifies you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether. You can also disable or delete cookies that you have previously accepted if you wish. To find out how to manage cookies on the following browsers, follow the link provided:
