Cookies Statement
Updated March 2013
Web pages have no memory and accordingly a user going from page to page will be treated by the website as a completely new visitor. A Cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server and enables the website you are visiting to keep track of your movement from page to page so that you do not have to provide the same login information more than once. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the Cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of Cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if register with the Treatt Plc Web Portal, a cookie helps Treatt Plc to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the Web Portal, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customised.
