What is a Cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Other types of similar technologies either work in the same way, or by retrieving information which is already stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit that site (such as clear gifs, pixels and digital fingerprints. Together we refer to these technologies as “cookies”). They may be set by the website owner or a third party. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work in a better, more efficient way. They can do this because websites can read and write these files, enabling them to recognise you and remember important information that will make your use and navigation of a website more convenient. Some cookies, known as 'session cookies', expire at the end of your browser session. Other cookies, known as 'persistent cookies', are stored on your computer or mobile device between browser sessions.
