What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on the computers and mobile devices of people who visit those websites. We use the term Cookie to refer to cookies and technologies that perform a similar function to a Cookie.
What does it do?
Its purpose is to remember information about your visit such as the settings you might have chosen for language or text size. They are then recalled for the next time you come back to the website so that it is the same as where you left off before. Overall, they customise your web experience and save you from having to re-input data. However, this only works if you have consented to the use of Cookies.
Both sides to a Cookie:
