What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data such as a username and password that may be stored on your computer or mobile device. It allows a website “remember” your actions or preferences over a length of time. Each cookie is unique to the web browser you use to access and browse a website. It will contain certain anonymous information which may include but not limited to a unique identifier, website’s domain name, and some digits and numbers.
How Do Cookies Work?
Cookies are created when a user’s browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file that is stored on your computer. Every time you visit the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website’s server.
Computer cookies are created not just by the website you are browsing but also by other websites that run advertisements, widgets (a program that enables a user to perform a function or access to a service), or other elements on the page being loaded.
Cookies serve a myriad of purposes, chief among which are management of sessions, personalising user experience and activity tracking. By tracking your activity on our website, your preferences can be stored so that relevant and appropriate content can be tailored to you.
