A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
Two Types of cookies are used on our website:
Session Cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of Your browser until You leave the site. They allow You to carry information across pages of Our site and avoid having to re-enter information.
They also allow You to maintain a shopping basket and within registration to allow You to access stored information.
Persistent Cookies remain in the cookie file of Your browser for longer depending on how long the lifetime of the specific cookie is. They help Us recognise You as a unique visitor by using a unique random number when You return to Our website.

In addition, we would also like to make you aware that, although external to MOTtesting.org.uk, 'third party' cookies are served on the Website and can be used to track internet activity after a user has left the Website.

Spam Attack |
|
|
The EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications demands that member states do more to combat spam. The UK law tries to create a system that lets legitimate businesses send direct e-mail to users but attempts to stop the scammers and spammers.
We only send emails to addresses that have been supplied directly to Us by customers and We always remove addresses from Our address book when requested to do so by those customers.
We never spam. |
