Cookies Policy

This policy explains how cookies are used on the NSA Screening website.

Our cookies policy

The nsascreening.co.uk website uses a “session cookie” to identify your browser session as you move between pages on the website and perform activities.

The website cookie allows our website to recognise each subsequent request from your browser as being from the same browser that made the initial request to our website.

By knowing that each subsequent request is related to the first, our website can track your actions as you move around the website and provide interactive features.

By analysing how our website is being used in general, we can improve the website experience for future visitors. If you experience any problems using our website, our website developers may be able to use this information to track your specific user journey and investigate and fix any issues that may arise.

The cookie itself is a very small text file that is stored on your device, such as your PC or phone, by your web browser.

It contains a simple text code that your browser sends back to our website each time you browse to a new page. This allows the website to look up your specific session and associate data for that session with your browser.

The data itself is not stored in your cookie. It is stored on the servers operating the website.

Each page on our website is generated by a Content Management System (CMS). This system provides interactive features where your experience may be tailored according to your past activity on the website. These features may require the session cookie to operate.

Session cookie functionality

  • The session cookie provides the ability for you to log on to our website using your unique user name, or email address, and password.
  • Each page on our website may be tailored to you based on your past activity on the website, for example to show your name.
  • The session cookie provides the means to remember your log-on state and your discussion forum preferences, such as your nickname and the date of your last post.
  • The session cookie may provide the means for you to take part in votes or polls on the website.
  • The session cookie may provide the means to remember that you have submitted a form so that you are not asked to re-submit it.
  • The session cookie provides the means to remember which files you have requested to be sent to you by email and the date and time at which such requests were made.

As we improve our website over time, similar and more advanced features may be added that also require a session cookie to operate.
