First of all. . .  what is a cookie?   A 'cookie' is a small file placed on your computer's hard drive or mobile device when you first visit a website.

My site uses a Google Analytics cookie, which identifies the pages being viewed.   It also records the frequently with which each page or service is accessed, and remembers the search terms that were used to find the site  (or links that were followed).   This allows us to analyse web page traffic and optimise the site accordingly.

What else does this cookie do?   It tells us about device you are using to access the website;  (the Operating System, screen shape & size, resolution etc.) so that the pages display correctly.   This is why you will see the 'Cookie Permissions' box again if you access the site from a different device!

This cookie is safe!   This 'traffic log' cookie cannot harm your computer or compromise your data in any way   It does NOT give access to your computer or any of your personal information.   We CANNOT see your name, IP address or email, details of any other sites you may have visited or your general online activity.
