Cookies are tiny files sent to your browser from a web server and temporarily stored on your computer’s hard drive to help deliver you a better web experience. Most websites use cookies in one form or another. Cookies cannot be used to obtain information from files in your computer.
By default, most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer you can alter your browser preferences, either to notify you when you have received a cookie or to refuse to accept cookies. You can also delete any cookies that have already been set.
If you choose not accept cookies, you may not be able to use certain features on our site.
The BREEAM Projects website makes only limited use of cookies. We use them to help you find your way around the site, to check whether you have logged in (necessary to reach some areas of our site), and to ‘remember you’ after you have registered with us (if you tell us to).
Specific cookies the BREEAM Projects site may create fall into two groups. Those necessary to make the site work, and those that add extra functionality to make it easier for you to use.
This site uses 'session cookies' to maintain information about where you are on the site and whether you have logged in. These are deleted as soon as you close your browser.
E.g. JSESSIONID - This cookie is used to identify you as a user between page loads. This allows us to remember certain settings, like which part of our website you were using before you were asked to log in or register.
These cookies are not required for our site to operate, but can provide extra functionality for you. We will tell you if a feature will use cookies before you use it.
E.g. BREEAM.USERID - if you ask us to ‘remember you’ when you log in to our site then we will set a cookie so that we know not to ask you next time.
