Use of Cookies
Below is an explanation of what cookies are and how they are used on this site.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file that contains a unique identification number. This file is used to let the website that issued it know when you browse the site again. There are two kinds of cookie - 'persistent' and 'non-persistent'.

What is a persistent cookie?
A persistent cookie is saved on your hard disk until it either expires or is deleted. It can be used to provide you with a more personal browsing experience when you look at a website. For example, the cookie can store information on how you like your browser to look while accessing the site or the choices you previously made when filling in an online form. No persistent cookies are used on the Renfrewshire community website pages although they are used by some of our community partners whose sites we link to and also by Nielsen NetRatings, the market research agents who provide our online user survey.

What is a non-persistent cookie?
A non-persistent cookie does not save the file to disk and remains in memory only until you switch your machine off or finish your browsing session. Once the session ends, the cookie disappears.

The Renfrewshire community website uses non-persistent cookies to help make your browsing experience a pleasurable and seamless one.
