It is important to stress that cookies do not damage your computer, since they cannot look into your computer and find out information about you or read any personal material kept on your hard-drive.
There are two types of cookies - 'session' and 'persistent' cookies. Session cookies disappear after you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies are stored for a length of time on your hard disk after which they "expire" automatically.

Any wpbppf.com cookies that are used or that remain on your PC do not contain any record of the information you may enter, nor any other personal information, and are only used so that interactive sessions function correctly. No other website can read the 'id' we store in our cookies and we do not read any information from other websites.
Most browsers will allow you to refuse cookies on your machine but unfortunately, you will not be able to use any interactive pages on our site which require cookies if you do this.
If you would like more information about what cookies can do, and how you can manage or refuse them, we recommend you look at www.allaboutcookies.org. These web pages are produced by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) who develop standards and guidelines to support online business processes.
