Cookies: Our Web site uses cookies for the purpose of identifying you
uniquely. This allows us to pre-populate your E-mail address on the login

other people using our service. Cookies also ensure that you view relevant
ad banners on our Web site when you log in. Our web-based mail service
will not function unless your browser is set to accept cookies.
Links: Be aware that when you click on ad banners, you may be
redirected to other sites not operated by SheffieldWednesday.com. You
are responsible for information that you provide to these sites. We
recommend that you review the privacy policy of any site that requests
personal information. ** Note that this policy does not cover the privacy
