What is a cookie
Cookies are small text files generated by the Websites you visit, which store data that can be useful later. This data is used to store your information between pages, but also to analyze how you interact with the Website. Cookies are secure, they can only store information that is made available by the browser, information that the user has previously entered into the browser or that is included in page requests. They cannot execute code and cannot be used to access your computer. If a Web Website encrypts information in a cookie, only that Website can read that information. There are two different types of cookies with different uses and contents: temporary and persistent. Temporary cookies contain information that is used within your browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Nothing is stored on your computer after you have finished browsing. Persistent cookies are used to store information that is used between visits. This data allows Websites to recognize that you are a repeat visitor, and adjust accordingly.
