What are cookies

Cookies are small text files which are downloaded on your device when you visit a website. They are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device. They can be thought of as an internet user's identification card, which tells a website when the user has returned.

Cookies typically store technical information, personal preferences, content personalization, usage statistics, links to social networks, access to user accounts and other information that help a website to respond to you as an individual and to tailor its operations to your needs.
