What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information kept on your computer by a web site. The site asks your computer to keep the cookies, and your computer gives them back to the site later. What they are used for is different on each web site. Usually your web browser allows you to control whether a site should be allowed to keep cookies on your computer, and to clear any cookies which you no longer want.

If you want to disable cookies in the Safari web browser, go to Preferences and then to the Privacy pane and choose to block cookies. On your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, go to Settings, then Safari, and then to the Cookies section. For other browsers, check with your provider to find out how to disable cookies.

How Framework Central Uses Cookies

On this web site cookies enable you to purchase safely, and personalise your experience on this web site. This list summarises the cookies we use:

• c: records that you have clicked 'Continue' on the 'This site uses cookies' drop-down.
• csrftoken: part of the system which ensures any requests to Framework Central are from you and not another site pretending to be you (i.e. preventing cross-site request forgery).
• sessionid: allows this site to recognise a single visit to the site. This is used, for example, to note when you have logged in so that the site doesn't need to re-ask you for your password unnecessarily.
• django_language: which language is selected.
