Each SportSystems store is separate and while the underlying look and feel is similar you will presently need a separate account for each one. Once you have an account however you will be able to use this for entering the race in subsequent years.
When you enter a race with Sport Systems we first take your details or the details of the person or people you are entering in the race. Then we create and account for you and finally we pass you to our secure payment service. Currently this is Barclaycard's EPDQ. Once we have passed you to Barclaycard we need to be able to identify you when you return to us so that we can display the correct details. To do this we use a Cookie.
A Cookie is a small file that is typically used for authenticating, tracking and maintaining specific information about users. In our case we use it to record your login details and information about your shopping cart. Without them we would not be able to identify you when you return from Barclaycard and consequently we would not know what to display on your screen.
