Announcement - Cookie Change

No, the cookies you kept in the cupboard are fine! But there will be a change with cookies coming to the game soon, and this could affect your ability to login if you are not prepared. So read on for some information about the changes, how they affect you and how to avoid any login issues.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is essentially small pieces of information that a website uses to save information about a user. This is often used for such things as login details (username and password) so that users do not have to enter these details every time they visit the website, and this is exactly how Big Farm uses cookies. Don't worry! This doesn't mean your login details are insecure, as they are only saved on your computer. We do not have access to the information saved in those cookies and they are perfectly safe as long as you keep your system free of viruses and other malicious software.
What is changing?
The way that cookies are stored will be changing. Previously, when you clicked the 'Remember password' checkbox on the login page this information would be saved (locally, on your own computer) by the Flash application that Big Farm uses to run and display the game. Now, this will be altered so that the browser will save the information instead. This is much more secure than previously and also assists us in future development of the game.
What does it mean for me?
If you have not registered your email address with the game already you may lose the ability to recover your password if you forget it. Also, if you cannot remember your username and/or password for the game, the change may result in you being logged out of the game. As a result it is important that all players have a registered email address by collecting the welcome gift, the envelope icon with a blue background shown below. Click on this if it appears on your account and fill in your email address to collect a reward and register your email address with the game. It would also be a good idea to ensure you can remember your password by writing it down and storing it in a safe location to ensure you are able to login after the cookie change.

Do not worry! You will not lose access to your account completely and it will still be saved, but please be sure you know your login details as this will avoid you having to write a ticket to support to resolve the issue, as the more tickets they receive on the subject the more difficult it will be for them to respond in a timely manner.
So make sure you can recall your details and that you have a registered email address and you should have no problem! Of course, if you usually type out your login details anyway you won't even notice the change but in case you are someone who likes to have their login details saved, please be sure to follow our advice!
For more information on account and password security, please see our handy security guide to make sure your account is protected as best it can be.
All the best and happy farming!
