Use of Cookies

To enable you to sign in and personalise your online experience BUSINESSPRO uses “cookies”.. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

BUSINESSPRO uses cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to BUSINESSPRO’s website.

This cookie allows your e-mail address to be pre-populated, so that you will only need to type your password the next time you sign in. You can set your browser to notify you when a web server attempts to write a cookie to your computer. This gives you a chance to accept or reject the cookie.
