For example, if you personalize ObedienceUK pages, or register with ObedienceUK site or services, a cookie helps ObedienceUK to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the same ObedienceUK Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the ObedienceUK features that you customized.
