What are Cookies?

A cookie is usually a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user’s web browser while a user is browsing a website. When the user browses the same website in the future, the data stored in the cookie can be retrieved by the website to notify the website of the user’s previous activity, thereby distinguishing the user from others using the site.

EU Cookie Law

The 2012 EU e-Privacy Directive requires all websites that provide services to users from within the European Union to receive informed consent from their visitors of the use of cookies upon reaching the website. This has been implemented on Homesbrand by way of a pop-up message that appears across the bottom of the browser window to anyone located in an EU member state.
