What are cookies?

Cookies are text files containing a randomly generated identifying tag (a string of letters and numbers) which is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The tag is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise the device you are using and provide you with a better website experience. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just the computer or mobile device you are using via an identifying tag.

Cookies can be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies:
– A persistent cookie is stored by a browser and remains valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before that.
– A session cookie will expire at the end of the user session, when the user closed the browser.
