What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes, by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
Overall, cookies help TIMCO to provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.
What Cookies Are Generally Used For?
We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being browsed. This data about webpage traffic can then be analysed and, as a result, improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. This information is used for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.
