How you can manage cookies

Key tips for safe and responsible cookie-based Web browsing
Due to their flexibility and the fact that our service uses cookies by default, cookies are almost unavoidable. Here are some tips you can use to ensure worry-free cookie-based browsing:
- Customise your browser’s cookie settings to reflect your comfort level with cookie security or use the relevant browser’s help guides to find out how to delete cookies.
- If you are comfortable with cookies and you are the only person using your computer, you may want to set long expiration time frames for storing your personal access information and browsing history.
- If you share access on your computer, you may want to set your browser to clear private browsing data every time you close your browser. While not as secure as rejecting cookies outright, this option lets you access cookie-based websites while deleting any sensitive information after your browsing session.
- Make sure your browser is updated and, if you haven’t already, set your browser to update automatically. This eliminates security vulnerabilities caused by outdated browsers. Many cookie-based exploits are based on exploiting older browsers’ security shortcomings.
