Like many websites, AWSMachinery places small data files known as cookies on your computer.

This page contains information on what 'cookies' are, what they do, the cookies used by AWSMachinery and some useful links for further reading on how to manage cookies in your browser and how to specifically disable third party cookies.

What is in a cookie?
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website.

Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember you and things like your preferences, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).

 What does a cookie do?

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, if you need to enter your login details and then move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.
 

Types of cookies

Session Cookies:
These are temporary Cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site. This information is not stored after you have left the site.

Persistent cookies:
These remain in the Cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie but this may be indefinitely or until deleted).

Are cookies dangerous?
No. Cookies are small pieces of text. They are not computer programs, and they can't be executed as code. Also, they cannot be used to disseminate viruses, and modern versions of both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers allow users to set their own limitations to the number of cookies saved on their hard drives.
