Summary
- Cookies have been implemented
within the Flood Warning Centre pages to significantly improve the display
of the rainfall and river height data maps. The cookies allow the system
to remember what data type you selected last and whether you have selected
the clickable versions of the maps. Without the use of cookies, every
time you change to a different view of the map, the data type defaults
to the 9am rainfall, and to the non-clickable version.
- The cookies used here are temporary
and expire within three hours of the last use.
- The cookies used here do not
monitor any personal information including the pattern of use, etc.
- The only data they store are
the last data type selected, whether the clickable version has been
selected, and some basic fixed parameters such as the cookie name, and
the specific URL where it is applicable.
- If you decide to disable cookies
for any reason, the displays will continue to function and use a default
of displaying the 9am Rainfall and the non-clickable version on entry
to all pages.
