What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to store on the hard drive of your computer, tablet or phone. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device, and they let a site remember things between pages and between visits.
Cookies are widely used to help websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the people who run the site. They are not programs and cannot read other files on your device.
