To make data-stream.co.uk and its subdomains work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this too. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site, respond to surveys, or participate in polls. It enables our website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Cookies do not give us access to your personally-identifiable information. We can use them to identify your computer, and information like this from you and users like you helps us analyze traffic patterns on our site and can help us provide you with a better experience by improving content and making the site easier to use. If you do not want DGS Data-Stream Ltd to use cookies in your browser, you can set your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when a website tries to put a cookie in your browser software.
