Blackboard cookies

Blackboard is the University's Virtual Learning Environment. You can only access Blackboard if you have a UWE userID and password. At this University, Blackboard uses persistent cookies when you access the service, but deletes them when you log out. All users are encouraged to log out when they have finished using any system to which they have logged in. In Blackboard, the use of cookies is necessary to identify individual users and thus to ensure that their personal data within the system is handled in a secure manner, ie by ensuring that only they can access materials associated with their user profile. As such storage is strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service in the context of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations (See further Regulation 6(4)(b)).
