GLOSSARY
Cookie
A message given to a browser program by a web server. The browser
in a text file then stores the message. Each time the browser requests
a page from the server, this message is sent back. A cookie's main
objective is to identify users and personalise their visit by customising
web pages for them for example by welcoming them by name next time
they visit the same site. A site using cookies will usually invite
you to provide personal information such as your name, e-mail address
and interests. In our case, we do not use cookies at all.
IP Address
Every machine connecting to the Internet has a four-number address
(e.g. 192.4.53.96), which may or may not stay constant between sessions
online. Many web users connect indirectly to the Internet via an
intermediary (proxy) server.
Log Files
Every time our web site is accessed an entry is made in the
web server's log file. This tells us broadly where an access is
coming from, when it was made, which file was requested and whether
the request was successful or not. It usually does not allow us
to identify individual users. The data is used to assess usage levels
and spot technical problems such as broken pages or web server errors.
Web Server
The machine on which the Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service's website is
physically located, which delivers (serves up) web pages to your
computer.
