What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file which stores text-based data about a user’s visit to a website; it is accessed by the website each time that a user re-visits it. These files are stored on your computer or mobile/tablet devices (session cookies) or on the hard drive of these devices (persistent cookies).
A cookie is created on these devices each time you visit a website that uses cookies. They are often necessary to ensure a good user experience by, for instance, providing relevant information about a user’s experience and interests. Cookies on any website tend to be required for basic use e.g. login data and analytics or on a more complex basis.
