How We Use Cookies

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. Cookies are used by the majority of sites, and have several different functions. At a basic level cookies will:

  • Allow the site to work properly, and help keep it secure.
  • Help to understand how people use a website.
  • Make a site easier to use by remembering information that you've entered.
  • Improve your experience by showing you information that's relevant to you.

How Drivers Companion uses cookies

Drivers Companion will:

  • Remember your RailSmart login details (if you ask us to)
  • Make sure your RailSmart session is secure
  • Record RailSmart pages accessed during your visit and the capability of your web browser

Drivers Companion will not:

  • Store your RailSmart password
  • Store any personally identifiable information related to you

The types of cookies we use

These are divided into three categories:

Session cookies: These cookies let you move around the site and use all of the website features. Without them, you wouldn't be able to log into Drivers Companion or use any of its applications. These cookies also help keep your Drivers Companion session secure.

Analytic cookies: These simply help us record details about your site visit, such as pages visited and browser used.

Persistent cookies: These cookies store your RailSmart login details (except your password), so next time you visit the information is already there for you. This only happens if you request it.

Consent

By using our website, you're consenting to our use of cookies. You can change your cookie settings at any time through your browser.

Changing your cookie settings

We recommend that you don't change your cookie settings, as we can't guarantee the performance of the site if you block some or all cookies. If you do decide to change them, you can do this through your browser. Each browser works in a different way, so you'll need to search for 'cookie settings' in your browser's help section to find out how to do this.

Third Party Cookies

The only third party cookie RailSmart uses is a Google Analytics Cookie (see Analytic cookie above). RailSmart uses no other third party cookies and no advertising cookies of any sort.
