A - You will still be able to use the web site however you will be completely unable to edit any records which you or your club make on the site.

Q - Does the cookie differentiate between records belonging to the same person ?

A - Yes, one of the clever things about them is that if, for instance one club records a new nominal on the database and an incident and an address, that club will be the only one which could alter details of the nominal or the other entries they made. If another club later added an incident to the same person the second club would be able to edit tat record but none of the others, likewise the orginal club would be unable to edit the new record made by the second club. In this way each item of data on the system is owned wholly by the club which made it.

Q - How will I know who made the entries ?

A - Each entry shows which club made the entry.

Q - How could I edit an entry made by another club which I know to be wrong ?

A - You cannot, however the answer to this would be to contact the club making the record and inform them that a record needs changing, it would be then their responsibility to do this.
