Manage Cookies
What can I do to manage cookies stored on my computer?
There are a number of ways to manage cookies. If you use different
computers in different locations you will need to ensure that each browser is adjusted to suit your cookie preferences.
Because a lot of privacy polices are long and complicated and take time to read, most modern browsers have a feature that will analyse website
privacy policies and allow a user to control their privacy needs.Most commercial sites have privacy policies in regards to the information that they gather or pass on to third parties that they gain from you visting their site.Sites like Yahoo and the broadband arm of o2 do and should disclose
their policies towards information collected by your visiting their
site.These
are known as "P3P" features (Privacy Preferences Platform). Find further information on P3P.
If the website you are visiting, is commercial in nature and does not have a privacy policy, be wary.
