What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text document that stores information about how you have used a website and informs us when you next visit the site. It is a reliable piece of data that cannot contain or transmit viruses or malware, nor can it access or retrieve any other data from your hard drive.
When you visit a website (e.g. www.deliciousdreams.com.au), our servers automatically generates a cookie, assigns it a unique identifier, and sends a request for permission to store it in your computer. This is a normal procedure used by most of the website on the internet; therefore, browsers are usually set to accept these cookies.
It is a standard practice for websites to send a unique cookie to your browser, and a standard browser setting to accept certified cookies. Furthermore, your browser limits how a website may interact with cookies by limiting its access only to the cookies it has already sent you, and not the cookies stored on your hard drive by other websites you visit.
If you prefer not to receive cookies, you may do so by changing the settings of your browser to refuse cookies sent from a website. This, however, may affect your interaction with our website and prevent parts of our website from properly functioning on your browser.
If your browser preferences have allowed it, our cookie will be stored on your computer. As a result, it lets our webmasters keep track of how users are engaging with our website.
For further information on how we use cookies see next section.
