We use these once you register with the site to allow us to personalise our service to you.

No personal or tracking data is used by the IOV website in the acceptence of cookies.
By allowing the IOV website to store cookies on your machine you remain perfectly safe. This new legislation was put into place on 26th May 2011 and is due to become a requirement by the Information Commissioners Office later this year.
Note: If you opt not to allow a cookie to be stored (eg via your browser settings), you will not be able to login to the system, and thus cannot participate in any discussion or 'restricted access' areas. We use a test cookie during the login process to check if you are able to accept cookies so we can alert you about this.
