What is a cookie
“Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. They allow a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as username, language, font size and other display settings) for a set period of time so you don’t have to enter them each time you visit the site or move from page to page.They are used by most websites to make your browsing experience easier.
Usually cookies contain a little information such as the internet address of the website that created them, their validity and their number. Because of the small amount of information they contain, cookies cannot usually be used to reveal your identity or personal data.
Some cookies contain personal information – for example, if you clicked “Remember me” when you logged in, the cookie will remember your username. Most cookies do not collect information that can identify you, but rather collect general information about how users access and use our sites or what their location is.
Cookies help us to improve your experience when using our website, as well as to understand how people use our site and which pages are most popular with visitors.
