What are Cookies?
Cookies are most often small text files which websites may put on your computer or mobile device while you are browsing. Cookies can do lots of different jobs, for example:
a. Remember you so that you don’t have to repeat yourself every time you go back to a website.
b. Help search engines remember you want your search results in English.
c. Help a website remember your preferences so that you don’t need to customise it every time.
d. Help us deliver a better service by communicating in a way that is relevant to you and showing you content we believe will be most relevant to you.
e. Identify and resolve errors.
f. Analyse how well a website is performing.
g. Essentially cookies are used for many purposes, the most common of which is to remember bits of information that help make browsing the web easier and more hassle-free.
When our websites use cookies to store personal information about you, the Trust then encrypts the personal data to prevent unauthorised use by anyone else. All modern browsers have tools to help you delete or block cookies from being set. But it’s important to remember that many websites need cookies in order to function properly. The Trust’s website is an example of this. By deleting or blocking cookies, you could also block certain personalised features such as namaaz times and you may not be able to take full advantage of some of the website’s features.
