What is in a
cookie?
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer
or mobile device by a website. Each cookie is unique to your
web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such
as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and
numbers. It allows a website to remember you and things like
your preferences, either for the duration of your visit (using
a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent
cookie’).
What does a cookie do? Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate
between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and
generally improving your experience of a website. Cookies make
the interaction between you and the website faster 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, if you need to enter your login details and then move
to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to
keep you logged in.
