What is a cookie?
Cookies aren’t just the sweet little delights that make you fat – website cookies are basic text file that are stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server. Every cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name along with a few digits and numbers.
Most websites you visit use cookies to improve your user experience by allowing the website to ‘remember’ you, either for the time you’ve spent visiting the site (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’).
What do cookies do exactly?
Cookies play lots of different roles, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, keeping track of your preferences, and improving your overall experience of a website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster, smoother and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site, for example, even after you “log in,” if you move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.
