Cookies
1. What is a Cookie?
A Cookie is a small string of text that is stored on your PC's hard
disk, unless you delete it (or it expires). It is not a computer
program, and cannot harm the data on your PC.
2. How do I know when I have received a Cookie?
You need to switch on the 'Alert before accepting Cookies' option
in your browser.
3. Should I switch on the alert?
It's up to you. However, increasingly, sites are using more and more
Cookies that expire when you switch off your browser; it can become
tiresome to see so many alerts.
4. What are Cookies for?
Cookies have two functions. The first is to 'maintain state of an
application'. Basically, this means that each time you come back
to a site, you begin where you left off. For instance, you may
only need to register to enter a site once. The second function
is to track your path through the site.
5. What does that mean?
Tracking your path can help the site provider optimise the site based
on popular paths or pages. You may feel that this knowledge of
your use - the site provider could set up a profile of your particular
habits - is an unwelcome intrusion into your privacy. However,
bear in mind that no personally identifiable data is being collected.
6. What is Petwise policy?
First, we never pass statistical data on to 3rd parties. All Petwise
sites that use Cookies explain what use we are putting them to.
7. Should I delete Cookies?
Again, it's up to you. If you feel that Cookies are an intrusion
into your privacy, delete them. However, we recommend that you
do not delete them. This will usually decrease your access to useful
information on subsequent visits to the site.
8. Can Cookies be stolen from my PC?
No. The information stored on your PC will only be transmitted to
the server that sent them in the first place.
9. How do I delete Cookies?
Go to your Cookies folder, usually called 'Cookies' on your hard
drive (C:\windows\cookies, for example), select them and delete
them in the normal way.
10. Why are they called 'Cookies'? Has this anything to do with
Petwise?
Unfortunately not.
Your pet's well being
The information in this site is not a substitute for veterinary advice
and is for information purposes only. You should always consult
a veterinary surgeon if you have any concerns about you pet's health.
He or she will have the advantage of taking a complete medical
history and physically examining your animal. They will therefore
be in a much better position to diagnose the illness, establish
a prognosis and make recommendations about appropriate treatment.
Our experts are pleased to help with behaviour queries although
please note it is often not possible to give e-mail advice.
Whilst reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the details
on this site are accurate and that the opinions are fair and reasonable,
no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to
the accuracy, completeness or correctness of information or opinions
given. Petwise accepts no liability
for consequences of any accurate information.
