What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is saved on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or web application.
It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Your web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) sends these cookies back to the website or application on each subsequent visit so that they can recognise you and remember things like user preferences.
