How we use cookies
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the
cookie file of the browser on your computer hard disk so that the website can
remember you.
Cookies can help a website to arrange content to match your preferred interest
more quickly. Most major websites use cookies. Cookies can not by themselves be
used to identify you.
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 this website-session
cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your
browser until you leave the site, and persistent cookies, which remain in the
cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and persistent cookies
which remain in your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on
the lifetime of the specific cookie).

How do you use cookies and what information do you collect about me? Session
cookies
We use temporary / session cookies in the following ways:

What is a web beacon?
A web beacon-sometimes referred to as a clear GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
or pixel tag is a line of code that we have installed on some of our pages to
help us learn more about how our visitors interact with the content and
services that we offer, and to count the traffic to different areas of the
website. A web beacon is a 1x1-pixel tag that is invisible to you and doesn't
affect the content you see.
This helps us provide a better service to you allowing us to understand which
areas of the site are more popular with visitors than others. Web beacons are
not used to collect any personal information about you. But allow us to gather
aggregated information about the use of our site. Hotpge.com pages may also
contain web beacons inserted by our advertising agency so that we can measure
the effectiveness of other websites. Web beacon files enable our agency to
recognize a unique cookie on your web browser, which in turn enables us to
learn which advertisements bring users to our website. The web beacon only
records a limited amount of information that includes the cookie number, the
page ID the time and date the page was accessed, it does not contain name,
address, telephone number or e-mail address.

Cookies FAQ
Produced in conjunction with the;
1. What is a cookie?
2. What is a browser?
3. What does my browser do?
4. So how do cookies get onto my browser?
5. Are all cookies the same?
6. What are session cookies used for?

8 What information is in my cookie?
9. So what can't cookies do?

13. How does P3P help me with cookies?
14. What else can I do to protect myself when online?
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file that computers receive when they access certain
websites. These files are text-only strings that are entered into the cookie
file or "memory" of the browser on your computer. They typically contain the
name of the server that the cookie has come from, the lifetime of the cookie,
and a value.
The value of the cookie is usually a randomly generated unique number. The
server, which sets the cookie, will use this number to recognise a user who
returns to a site or goes to the following page. When websites recognise their
users in this way they can provide customized services.
It is bad practice for any personal data such as name, e-mail address or credit
card number to be "saved" or "logged" in a cookie. Cookies can only be read,
and therefor used, by the server that issues them.
3. What is a browser?
Remember that if you use a different computer in different locations, e.g. at
work and at home, you may use a different browser for each. For more
information, please see the CNET Glossary definition. (See also FAQ 5 and FAQ 8
on how to set the cookie controls in the browser you are using on your
computer.)
Remember that if you use a different computer in different locations, e.g. at
work and at home, you may use a different browser for each. For more
information, please see the CNET Glossary definition. (See also FAQ 5 and FAQ 8
on how to set the cookie controls in the browser you are using on your
computer.)
A Browser is the program or software you install on your computer that enables
you to navigate from website to website, or from web page to web page, and to
read the content that is presented. Common browsers include Internet Explorer
6, Netscape 6 and AOL.
4. What does my browser do?
When you type an address of a web page (e.g.www.hotpge.com into your browser,
that web page is stored on a server ready and waiting to be delivered. Every
web page that you request via your browser is created for you in response to
your request. Thus what you request with your browser is not a web page, but a
list of requests to get content from the various servers on which the content
for that page is being stored.
It is rather like a recipe for a cake-you have a list of ingredients (requests
for content) that make a cake (web page), when put together in the correct
order, as soon as you move onto the next page, the page that you have seen
"disappears". This is what creates the dynamic nature of websites.
Different companies may deliver the content required to make up the page. For
example, the main content of the website might be provided by the company that
owns the website, but that company may contract with third parties to provide
complementary content such as photo or video content, weather reports, stock
and share price tickers etc. For each piece of content, your browser will use
the relevant code request on the list of ingredients to call the right server
and get relevant content.
Each request for content will involve the sharing of the following information:
1.The IP address, of your browser. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or
employer will allocate this to your browser when you log on to the Internet
using their services. It is usually allocated on a temporary or dynamic basis,
i.e. it is only allocated to your browser for the duration of hat session
online.
Without an IP address, a server would not be able to send you the content you
have requested because the server would not be able to locate your browser.
This means that in any request for online content, there are at least two IP
addresses involved the IP address of the server(s) where the content is stored,
(which is included in the address of the web page, e.g.
Each request for content from a server is recorded in a log file. The log file
generally includes the date and time of the request, the IP address to which
the content was sent, the cookie ID, the type and version of the browser to
which the content was sent, the cookie ID, the type and version of the browser
to which it was delivered, and an identification code for the content sent.
http://www.hotpge.com and the IP address of a browser to the computer to which
the content is to be delivered. A request also involves the IP addresses of any
other computers in the transaction chain, such as your ISP's proxy server.
2.The "http" part of the request will also be shared. It may indicate to the
server storing the content the type and version of the browser to which the
content is to be sent and the type and version of the operating system that is
being used. This is important for ensuring that the content you have requested
is compatible with and can be "seen" by your browser.
A site will typically use a session cookie because the servers that the pages
are held on can recognize your browser from the pages that you request. This
ensures that you can move from one page to another quickly which is
particularly important for e-commerce sites where you need to move the goods
that you have selected to a shopping cart, and then go to a virtual checkout
desk to pay. You can decide whether to allow your browser to accept these types
of cookies by changing the settings. For more information, please see FAQ 5 and
FAQ 9.
4. How do cookies get on to my browser?
As explained in FAQ3, every time your browser requests the content for the web
page that you want to look at, it must exchange some information with the sever
on which that content is stored. A cookie may be involved as part of that
information sharing. This is how it works:
You type http://www.hotpge.com into your browser to make a request for content.
If this is the first time your browser has requested content from this sever,
the server will send the requested content to your browser (see FAQ 3) along
with a cookie (see FAQ 1), which will be stored in the cookie folder of your
browser.
If you have requested content from this server before, and have accepted a
cookie (see FAQ 5 and FAQ 8 on how to accept or reject cookies), when your
browser requests the content from the server, it will include the cookie ID
previously set by that sever in the request.
5. Are all cookies the same?
There are two different types of cookies:
Session cookies are temporary cookies or unique IDs that are associated with
your browser for the duration of a visit to a site. Once you have left the
site, the session cookie ID will appear to be a completely new visitor. There
will be nothing about your browser that lets the site know that you have
visited before (see FAQ 6) Persistent cookies remain on a visitor's browser for
longer than the visit to the website itself, although the length of time that
the cookie will remain on your browser will depend on how long the cookie user
has programmed the cookie to last (see FAQ 7).
6. What are session cookies used for?
Cookies are a standard way of enabling a web server to remember your browser.
A site will typically use a session cookie because the servers that the pages
are held on, they can recognize your browser from each page that you request,
thus ensuring that you can move from one page to another quickly. This is
particularly important for e-commerce sites where you need to move the goods
you have selected to a shopping cart, and then go to a virtual checkout desk to
pay. You can decide whether to allow your browser to accept these types of
cookies by changing the settings.
We may occasionally use session cookies to improve your user journey by
recognising when you have seen certain information pages that you would only
need to view once and ensuring that your journey is not interrupted by
consequent visits to such pages within a session. For more information, please
see FAQ 5 and FAQ 8.
7. What are persistent cookies used for?
A persistent cookie enables a website or server to remember you on subsequent
visits and can offer ongoing services or functions.
For example, on hotpge.com we may offer you the ability to store a location, On
your first visit, you may choose to set as your preferred location and our site
may record that preference in a persistent cookie set on your browser. When you
revisit the site, it will use the cookie to ensure that the content is set to
your preferred location. You can decide whether to allow your browser to accept
these types of cookies by changing the settings. For more information, please
see FAQ 5 and FAQ 8
8. What information is in my cookie?
Some sites do "write" personal information about you into the cookie that they
set on you browser, but they can only do so if you have provided them with that
personal information in the first place. If they do include your personal
information in your cookie, it should be encrypted so that it cannot be read by
anyone who has access to your browser and therefore the cookie folder of your
browser.
It depends on how the website or third party has set up their cookie feature,
but generally the value of your cookie will be a randomly generated string of
characters. This is because the cookie user does not need to know specifically
who you are, for most purposes, It is enough just to remember that it has seen
your browser before.
If a website wants to include information about you in a cookie, or wants to
link a cookie with personal data about you, they will need to comply with
existing data protection legislation. This means that they must inform you
about this use of your name or credit card details when you provide them with
the information, and they must also provide you with an opportunity to stop
that happening.
If a website wants to include information about you in a cookie, or wants to

about this use of your name or credit card details when you provide them with
the information, and they must also provide you with an opportunity to stop
that happening.
For example, a website selling books might set a cookie on a user's browser
with the value "1234". On their server, they may have a file that tells them
that user "1234" is who has previously bought legal textbooks from their site.
This means that next time the site "sees" cookie ID as "Hello Hotpge, today we
are offering discounts on legal text books. Please click here for more
information".
9. So what can't cookies do?
Cookies are just a string of text; therefore they cannot look into your
computer and find out information about you, your family or anyone else.
10. How do I manage my cookies?
There are a number of mechanisms for managing the use of cookies. If you use
different computers in different locations, you will need to ensure that the
browser on each computer you use has been adjusted to suit your cookie
preferences (see FAQ 8).
You can delete any cookies that have been installed in the cookie folder of
your browser. For example, if you are using Microsoft Windows:
open Windows Explorer;
click on the "Search" button on the tool bar;
type "cookie" into the search box for :Folders and files";
select "My computer" in the " Look in" box;
click "Search now";
double click on the folders that are found;
select any cookie file;
Hit the delete key.
In Internet Explorer 3.0, go to the "View" menu, then to "Options', then to
"Advanced". Check the box that says "Warn before accepting cookies". Then go
into your cookie directory (usually c:\windows\cookies) and delete all the
files you have there. Once you delete these files, you will have no more
cookies, and you will be prompted every time a website attempts to send a
cookie to your system. At that time, you can choose to either accept or cancel
the cookie.
Hotpge.com accepts no responsibility for users deleting cookie files from their
machines, and cannot help troubleshoot problems arising from such actions.
All browsers enable you to set your cookie preferences before you begin surfing
the Web.
If you are using Netscape Navigator 3.0, go to the "Options" menu, then to
"Network preferences" and then to "Protocols". Check the box that says "Show an
alert before accepting a cookie". Then go into your Netscape folder (usually
c:\program files\navigator) and delete the file called "cookies.txt." Under
Windows 95, you could also use the "Find" portion on the start menu to find the
file called "cookies.txt".
If you are using Netscape 4.0+, go to "Edit" on the menu bar, click on
"Preferences", click on "Advanced", and tick the box that says "Warn me before
accepting a cookie". Now go to your "Start" button, click on "Find", click on
"Files and folders"; type "cookies.txt" into the search box that appears, and
click "Find now". When the search results appear, drag all files listed into
the "recycle bin". Now shut down and restart Netscape.
In Internet Explorer 4.0, go to the "View" menu, then to "Internet options",
then to "Advanced". Tick the box that says; "Prompt before accepting cookies".
Then go into your cookie directory (usually c:\windows\cookies) and delete all
the files you have there. Once you delete these files, you will have no more
cookies, and you will be prompted every time a website attempts to send a
cookie to your system. At that time, you can choose to either accept or cancel
the cookie.
If you are using Netscape 6.0+, go to "Edit" in the menu bar, click on
"Preferences", click on "Preferences", click on "Advanced", and select the
"Cookies" field. Now tick either the box that says "Warn me before accepting a
cookie" or "Disable cookies". Click.
In Internet Explorer 5.0+, go to the "Tools" menu, then to "Internet options",
then to the "security" tab. Highlight the "Internet" zone (selected by
default). Select security level "high" for this zone. Click on "OK". Then go
into your cookie directory (usually c:\windows\cookies) and delete all the
files you have there. Once you delete these files, you will have no more
cookies and your browser will no longer send or receive new cookies.
11. What are Web beacons and clear gifs? Whenever you request a web
page, your browser will request the content from the various addresses or
servers it is being stored on. A web beacon (or web bug) may be one of the
"ingredients" that is included in the components that make up the page that you
have requested. Rather than requesting some Text, an image of an advertisement
content that you can see it may simply request a 1x1 pixel tag (a.k.a. a clear
GIF, which stands for Graphic Interchange Format).
This 1x1 pixel tag is invisible to you. It works in the same way as any other
request or, if this is the first time that your browser has requested content
from the server, a cookie may be returned with the 1x1 pixel tag (see FAQ 4).
They are invisible because they are transparent images that are used to record
specific activity on a website or on a web page rather than deliver content.
Web beacons and clear GIFs are used by websites their purpose will depend on
what it is that the site wants to understand about how its visitors interact
with their pages, for example, on Hotpge.com we may use a web beacon to allow
us to count individual pages of the site that have been accessed and produce
reports to help us understand which content is popular with users.
Because a web beacon is really a request for the content included in the make
up of the web page that you have requested, it is not possible to opt out of or
refuse their use. However where they are used in conjunction with cookie Ids,
they may be rendered ineffective by either opting out of the use of the cookie
or by changing the cookie settings in your browser (see FAQ 5). Hotpge.com does
not use web beacons in conjunction with cookies.
12. What is P3P, and how does it affect privacy
P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences) is a method is a method being developed
by the World Wide Web Consortium, that will enable you to control, at a machine
level, how websites use personal information about you. In simple terms,
website owners will be able to translate their site privacy policy into a
machine-readable language that can be read by the latest version of browsers
(see FAQ 2).
You will be able to set your privacy preferences in your browser before you
begin to surf the Internet (see FAQ 19). As you request content via your
browser, the server the content is stored on will send the content to your
browser together with a privacy policy that your browser can read. Before your
browser shows you the page, it will match the privacy promises in the privacy
policy with the preferences that you have set in your browser. If there is not
a match you will be alerted so that you can decide whether to proceed or not.
For a more detailed explanation of this ongoing project, please visit the
Platform For Privacy Preferences (P3P) Project.
13. How does P3P help me with cookies?
The latest versions of browser technology, Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape 6
are P3P capable. This means that they are capable of reading privacy polices at
a machine level. However, they have only been developed so far with the
capability of allowing you to manage your preferences in relation to cookies.
This means that before you start surfing, you can decide how you want to manage
both first party and third party cookies (see FAQ 8).
Internet Explorer 6
Click " File" on the toolbar of the browser.
Click " Internet options" on the "Tools" menu.
Click the "Privacy" tab.
Move the sliding bar up or down to set how high or low you want your privacy
preferences in relation to the use of first and third party cookies.
Click "OK".
Having set you privacy preferences, you can check the privacy practices of any
site or page that you are visiting:
Click "File" on the toolbar of the browser.
Click "View".
Click "Privacy report".
This will show you a box indicating all the cookies (see FAQ 1) and GIFs (see
FAQ 6) that are being delivered with that content. You will see which ones have
been blocked because their privacy practices do not match the privacy setting
in your browser, and which ones have been accepted because their privacy
practices do match your privacy preferences.
Netscape 6.2
Click "Edit" on the toolbar of the browser.
Click "Preferences".
Click "Privacy and security".
Click "cookies".
Select your preferences.
Click "OK".
Having set your privacy preferences, you can make site by site privacy
decisions:
Click "Tasks" on the toolbar of the browser.
Click "privacy and security".
Click "Cookie manager".
Select your preferences for the use of cookies on the specific website that you
are visiting.
Any time that you wish to delete any stored cookies:
Click "Tasks" on the toolbar of the browser.
Click "Privacy and security"
Click "Cookie manager"
Click "View stored cookies".
Select an individual cookie and either click "Remove cookie", or to delete all
stored cookies, click on "Remove all cookies".
14. What else can I do to protect myself when online?
Before entering any personal data such as an e-mail address or credit card
details, check the privacy policy of the site you are visiting. If there is no
privacy policy, go elsewhere.
Do not provide more personal date than you are comfortable with. If you feel
the questions are too intrusive, go elsewhere.
Think before putting your personal details on a public site such as a bulletin
board or chat room. Set up a different e-mail address for such uses. Use
anonymising technology or services. See Anonymizer.com for more information.
