What Are Cookies?
Cookies are text files which usually contain two pieces of information: a website name and a unique ID. They are sent to your web browser by web servers when you visit a website and are stored on your computer by your browser. When the browser reconnects with that server (i.e. when you revisit the same website), the information in the cookie is sent back to the server. This helps the server to identify and track the web browser. Cookies may be helpful, for example, for remembering your preferences, login details, recording what has been placed in your shopping basket and counting the number of visitors to a website. There are two main types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies remain on your computer until you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your computer until they are deleted or expire.
