From what I understand, cookies follow your usage of your computer so that adverts can be targetted by people who sell what you have recently looked at. I've been looking for a dress for our youngest daughter's wedding party recently and have seen loads of adverts on my computer for dresses. Unfortunately the sellers have not spotted that I'm 63, fairly conservative in my dress and rather too large for some of the things that keep appearing!

Someone else will say if that isn't correct, I'm sure!

I have left a message on cookies thread as they didn't know about this thread and an explanation! Clear? Well I have to go and get on the WI float to deliver their torch to the next village now. So be back....and hope sorted before next weekend! phew.... Previous village is arriving as land army on a tractor we are leaving on flat bed farm truck as synchronised (codger) swimmers and to be greeted by 'strawberries' in following village. May put video on utube...just to show what grans are made of?

I clicked on the heading ...re-accepting cookies ...but yes Greatnan, recognise the term but don't understand the concept either!!

Can a techno GNetter explain please!! [in words of one syllable]emoticon [blush]

Good question Greatnan, I tried to pretend I knew [blush]

WTF are cookies?

Which reminds me, when are we getting a cookie emoticon?

Sorry! Couldn't resist [cookie-munching grin]

I think the cookies were the problem, they should have been cupcakes!

No strange page for last hour. I clicked on acepting cookies.

(Sorry couldn't post earlier to explain due to the same issue so could only respond to those who emailed... But is all in hand now. The emoticons are apparently queueing for a riverside view of the Jubilee celebrations next weekend but will be back once they have secured their pitch)

We are onto this I promise. Gremlins woken up by the sunshine [grin]

There is something odd happening with this page! A tech issue.

P.S. I think it's all to do with your 'cookies' question............
