Due to some stupid EU ruling (yes, them wankers again), I have to explain to you what cookies are and what they're doing on this site and your computer.

Cookies are lovely biscuit-y things you can get from ASDA, Tesco, Lidl or Greggs. They come in many different flavours from plain to chocolately - sometimes even covered in icing and Smarties.

However, the cookies that are in question are basically little text documents on your computer that "remember" things - think of them as post-it notes. So when you login on here a cookie gets placed onto your computer that tells your computer you are logged in - so when you return to the site you don't have to log in again. Understand?

Yes. In your internet options of your browser.

From the 26th May 2012, yes. It is. Why? Because of the fuck-ups over in Brussels, ruining yet another thing.
