What is a cookie and why do I need one?

A cookie is a piece of data that is stored on your local computer by a website. The data that is stored is then sent back to the website every time you visit that site.

The NDAD website sets a cookie called NDAD_Sesh. This cookie allows us to identify you after you have logged in. You will need to accept this cookie in order to view the parts of the site that require you to log in.

The cookie is also used by us to access settings relating to a query you have built or a table you are viewing, so that when you re-visit a page it should appear, where possible, as you left it.

This is intended to enhance your use of NDAD, it should mean that you will not find yourself starting from scratch when access catalogues or data even if you move to another part of the site. The cookie will expire when you shut down your browser.

This is all the NDAD_Sesh cookie is used for.

Please note that you can still view the NDAD catalogues without logging in.
