Cookies

A ‘cookie’ is an item of data stored on the user’s device containing information about their use of a website. To the best of our knowledge, the only uses of cookies in public areas of Big Brother 24/7 are as follows:

  • Comments – When commenting, we offer users a ‘remember’ option which, if selected, will save their details (e.g. name, email address) in cookies so they don’t have to re-enter them for future comments.
  • Polls – Every time a user votes in our polls, a cookie is set to remember their choice(s) and prevent them from voting again.
  • Advertisements – see below

However, our content management system may set cookies our staff are unaware of. We regularly monitor the site to check for such cookies and will take action if we find any.

If you do not want Big Brother 24/7 to save such cookies to your device, most browsers will allow you to block them in their settings. However, if you do, you may not be able to access some features on Big Brother 24/7.

Big Brother 24/7 uses scripts from third-party or external websites for certain features (e.g. Twitter, to display our latest tweet) which may set cookies to your device. We cannot be held responsible for cookies set by third party or external websites.
