What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded by your web browser onto your computer, mobile phone, or any other device used when visiting websites, and mostly used to improve the user experience. There are two types; a) “persistent” cookies, which are stored by the web browser and will remain valid until their set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before then), and b) “session” cookies, which are temporary & expire at the end of the user session (when the web browser is closed).

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that is stored elsewhere may be linked to the information they contain.
