They are used to help provide additional functionality to the Site and to help us analyse Site usage. There are two types of cookies: The first is used for "remembering" information such as your user name and password and is stored on your computer unless

2. The second type is called a "session cookie". It is used to keep track of, for example, which language you have chosen on the web page.

A session cookie is not stored on your computer for a long time and usually disappears when you close your web browser. By using such cookies, TECHNIC ONE hopes to better target relevant information to our visitors. If you don't want to accept TECHNIC ONE's, use of cookies, most browsers allow you to configure your browser settings to reject cookies. However, this course of action may limit the functionality of the Site and therefore the benefits it might offer you.
