This website (www.sleeper.scot) uses cookies to improve your experience, by enabling the website to ‘remember’ you, both for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) and for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small, simple, text files that are stored on your computer’s or mobile device’s web browser by a website’s server, and that are unique to your browser. Only the website server that placed the cookie on your browser has access to read or amend the contents of that cookie. Cookies contain anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the website name. Cookies allow websites to your preferences, what’s in your shopping basket and other useful things that make using the website easier. For example, if websites didn’t use cookies, then you would have to enter your login details every time you moved to another page on the website, as the website would think you were a new visitor on each page.
