Regarding cookies and the use of cookies on Mobilepedia

The Legal Terms and Conditions governing access to and use of Mobilepedia are set out below.

1. Introduction.

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk so that the website can 'remember' things about your previous and current visits. 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. Most major websites use cookies. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.

2. How we use Cookies on our Site and what Information we collect.

Cookies are used in one feature of Mobilepedia: Traffic Analysis: Mobilepedia uses cookies to give each visitor a unique ID. The server will place a cookie containing a unique number on the visitors computer when they arrive on MobilePedia for the first time. The next time that the visitor requests MobilePedia, the server will recognize this visitor. This makes it possible to accurately determine 'repeat visits'
