Cookies
Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). Some cookies may only be initiated for certain sections/functionality of the website – this will be indicated in the cookie description.
Cookies are simple ’text files’ which you can read using a Notebook program on your own device. Typically, they contain two pieces of information: a site name and unique user ID.
When you visit a site that uses cookies for the first time, a cookie is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit that (or a partner) site, your device checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant (that is, one containing the site name).
The site then ’knows’ that you have been there before, and in some cases, tailors content to take account of that fact. For instance, it can be helpful to vary content according to whether this is your first ever visit to a site – or your 71st. We use cookies to identify members interacting with our website.
Functional and performance cookies can be turned on/off website users during initial visits and on-going visits.
Below is a list of all the cookies that run across the Ski Club of Great Britain website.
