When we refer to Our websites we are referring to any website in the domain sor.org, including insight.sor.org, the website sor.cpdnow.net and www.collegeofradiographers.ac.uk.

What are cookies?

Cookies are one of the building blocks of most websites. These small text files on users' computers allow websites to store information. Cookies allow websites to remember that a user is logged in, what they have added to their shopping basket and the current state of a webpage.

Some cookies are essential for the operation and security of Our websites. Other cookies help Us understand how visitors use Our websites and improve the services We provide.

We use them to remember that you are logged in after you enter your username and password and then navigate to a different page.

They also enable Us to generate statistics about the number of visitors We have and how they use Our websites and online services. This may include measuring interactions with article content, restricted content prompts, exports, submissions, partner services and other website features.
