What are ‘cookies’?
Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari) on your computer, tablet device or mobile phone. They allow websites to store such things as user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a “memory” for the website, enabling it to recognise a user and respond appropriately.
