After years of resisting some "newer" technologies
in order to keep this site friendly to older browsers and people paranoid
about security I have finally decided to use cookies on this site. What
is a cookie?
I use cookies to provide you with a better experience
while browsing my site. You can obviously view any cookies on your computer
but this page will also allow you to view and manage most of the cookies
I drop here.
Below you will see the cookie's name in bold
followed by a description of the cookie, a text
box with it's current value and, when appropriate, a button you can use
to clear the cookie or change its value.
| cart
This cookie keeps your shopping cart details.
There is a comma-delimited list of items, each with five parts, the
image number, quantity, product code, price and size. For example,
21124|1|c|79|16x4
means image #21124, one
c-size photo, costing A$79 and 16x4" in size.
Note that none of your personal details are stored
here (or in any other cookie), when you submit the secure form in
the giftshop checkout PayPal handles all the payment details.

| myportfolio
This cookie keeps a record of the images you
have selected for your portfolio gallery.
This is a comma-delimited list with numbers indicating the images
you have selected.

| filter
This cookie remembers the location and category
you have chosen in the FOTOfinder. There are two comma-seperated values
in the format "location,category"
Location
will be something like "uk-ldn" for UK-London.
Category will be something like "wl-do"
for wildlife-domestic
So "uk-ldn,wl-do" means domestic
animals in London.
An asterix means "all locations" or
"all categories", eg. "*,wl-do" means
domestic animals anywhere.
If your last search was a keyword
search this cookie will be null and the keyword will be stored
in the keyword cookie.

This cookie remembers the keyword or photo
number you typed in the FOTOfinder. It will be either words or photo

| What is a cookie?
Cookies are titbits of information stored on your machine. They
can't do anything to your computer and can only be read by the web
site that put them there.
Cookies are used to keep track of things like
your name so a web site can say "Hello Fred" every time
you visit.
My reasons for using cookies are detailed above
where I describe the use of each cookie I "drop" onto
your computer.
Cookies can be disabled by your browser and you
don't need them to get a lot from this site, but many of the features
can only work with the help of cookies.
