What are cookies?

Cookies are small, simple, often encrypted text files, and are unique to your browser; these files are saved to your computer, tablets, or mobile devices to save your preferences. 

Cookies are created when a user’s browser loads a website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website’s server. Computer Cookies are created not just by the website the user is browsing but also by other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements on the page being loaded.

Standard uses for browser cookies

Website servers set cookies to help authenticate the user if the user logs in to a secure area of the website. Login information is stored in a cookie so the user can enter and leave the website without having to re-enter the same authentication information over and over. Cookies act as a sort of “bookmark” within the site.

How to delete cookies?

Alternatively, you can visit www.internetcookies.org, which contains a more detailed information on cookies, and how to enable and disable them.
