Cookies are small text files (usually made up of letters and numbers) which may be placed on your computer’s hard drive by websites that you visit.

3. Why do websites use cookies?

Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. They allow the website to recognise you each time you re-visit it and provide you with a more personalised user experience. They can record which buttons you click or pages you browse to help you navigate between pages more efficiently. They can also help the website remember helpful information about your visit, such as your preferred settings or any password or form content you enter, which can make your next visit easier. Cookies make using the internet smoother. Without them, web browsing would be more frustrating, repetitive and time-consuming.
