Welcome To AllAboutCookies.org.uk

Congratulations. You've found the new resource for internet users, website owners and marketers that explains what the technology we call cookies is all about. The pages on this site show how cookies are used, the relationship they have between the website and your browser and why they are key to getting the best from the web.

As the UK internet industry's think tank, the IAB has worked with website publishers, internet users, lawyers, marketers and technologists to lift the lid on the technology and the data protection issues surrounding it.

We would like to thank all of the people who contributed their time and effort. We hope you find these explanations and guidelines useful and look forward to hearing your comments as they will help us develop the site further.

The new wave of media including website presenters being added to websites create a new challenge for webmasters. You really need to control these using cookies or IP address, you don't want the website presenter appearing every time a client hits your site. I would recommend using I.P to exclude the presenter to visitors that have already watched this. People tend to clear there cookies so use I.P exclude.

Cookies are small unique numbers which are stored on the browser which relate to a specific site, so you got to an online dating site for example you can register all your details specific to you, then when you return the next day it will remember you have been to the site with the unique id number present in your browser.

Maybe the most popular web sites now are dating sites, and they also use cookies. If one want see how they use them one can use this site to find some new social places . They have a list of top websites and some great dating articles you can read for free. The best advice is to read as much as posiple and learn.

There are also some good sites for singles if your looking for a date. I found this site to be interesting it is about singles dating , it has some good links and articles for singles. I also found it to be quite well designed, even i would liked see even more dating articles.

If you too have a dating or singles website, or even if you have an e-commerce site or an informative blog, you will need someone to help you with Internet marketing. The company TopClickMedia.co.uk is an Internet marketing company that specializes in PPC, SEO, Web Design, and Branding. They will help you market your website, drive traffic to your sales pages, and make serious profit.

A great example of a website that makes use of cookies is a vehicle tracking website. This site stores cookie information to the local hard drive in order to retain a history of visitors vehicle tracking search habits. They are in no way harmful cookies, instead they merely help to give visitors a rich user experience. This is a great use of cookies, as it makes websites more user friendly.
