What is a cookie
Cookies are tiny files sent to your browser from a web server and temporarily stored on your computer’s hard drive to help deliver you a better web experience. Most websites use cookies in one form or another. Cookies cannot be used to obtain information from files in your computer.
How you can control cookies
By default, most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer you can alter your browser preferences, either to notify you when you have received a cookie or to refuse to accept cookies. You can also delete any cookies that have already been set.
If you choose not accept cookies, you may not be able to use certain features on our site.
How we use cookies on this site
The Red Book Live website makes only limited use of cookies. We use them to help you find your way around the site, to check whether you have logged in (necessary to reach some areas of our site), and to ‘remember you’ after you have registered with us (if you tell us to).
Specific cookies the Red Book Live site may create fall into two groups. Those necessary to make the site work, and those that add extra functionality to make it easier for you to use.
Strictly necessary cookies
This site uses 'session cookies' to maintain information about where you are on the site and whether you have logged in. These are deleted as soon as you close your browser.
E.g. JSESSIONID - This cookie is used to identify you as a user between page loads. This allows us to remember certain settings, like which part of our website you were using before you were asked to log in or register.
Functionality cookies
These cookies are not required for our site to operate, but can provide extra functionality for you. We will tell you if a feature will use cookies before you use it.
E.g. REDBOOKLIVE.USERID - if you ask us to ‘remember you’ when you log in to our site then we will set a cookie so that we know not to ask you next time.
Social network sharing cookies
Some of our pages invite you to ‘share’ them via social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn. If you chose to use the ‘share this’ function, those sharing sites may set a cookie on your machine. You can read more about how these sites use cookies by clicking on the relevant link: Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn.
