What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. 

Using cookies allows websites to recognise a user’s PC, laptop or smartphone and store information about their preferences and past actions. 

A cookie usually contains the name of the website from which it comes, a "lifetime", and a “value”, which is usually a randomly generated unique number. They do not alone identify you as an individual but they do require your consent/permission to run in most cases. 

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

To find out more about cookies, you can visit the ‘AllAboutCookies.org’ website.
