What, No Cookie Policy?

Visitors to the main site may notice no "Cookie Policy" message appears when they first enter.

For the purpose of transparency, a cookie is stored on your computer in the form of a token which is used to maintain the password you entered to view or download images. Without it you would need to re-enter the password each time you moved to a new page.

Such cookies fall into the category of "strictly necessary" for the site to function and provide you with the service and as such the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) states that it is not necessary for the site to obtain consent or provide the option to decline the cookie.
