What are Cookies?

Cookie is a small line of text that is stored within your browser when you visit a cookie-enabled website. As you browse the Web, cookie-enabled sites will send cookies to your browser, along with pages. Your browser probably has options that will let you control whether the browser accepts cookies, rejects cookies, or notifies you each time a cookie is sent to you. If your browser is set to reject cookies, cookie-enabled websites will not recognize you when you return. This provides you with anonymity, but it also makes it very difficult to offer you customized services. It is also less secure than using cookies, because all of your specific data must be sent to the website each time you view a page.

If your browser is set to accept cookies, any cookies that are sent to your browser are stored in your computer for a period of time.

There are two types of cookies. One is called Session, a cookie is stored only in your computer & working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all of your browser & windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever. A permanent cookie is stored on your computer & Hard Drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Permanent cookies stay on your computer until:

 

  • Either they expire.

  • They are overwritten with newer cookies.

  • You manually remove them.

Users can visit most areas of the website without revealing who they are, or providing any information about themselves. However, NIC may receive data from you as part of the communication itself- the standard electronic greeting between your computer, the network, and our servers. This information often consists of network routing (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), date, and time. At this time, our server will also query your computer to see if there are “cookies” previously set by www.nic.com.kw to facilitate log in, or other site navigation procedures.

Retention of Customer Information

We retain information about customers as required by government regulation. For example, we retain information about packages, including names and addresses, so that we can provide proof of delivery information and to process claim requests.
