WHAT IS A "Cookie"

 

A cookie is a small file consisting of a text set of information that a website transfers from your web browser to your computer's hard drive, both temporarily for the duration of your visit and sometimes for longer periods, depending on the type of the "cookie".

 

"Cookies perform certain functions (including distinguishing you from other users on this website or storing specific information such as your preferences) and are used by most sites to make your browsing experience easier.

 

Each "cookie" is unique to your web browser and will contain some anonymous information. The "cookie" usually contains the name of the domain it came from, the "lifetime" of the "cookie" and a value (usually below a randomly generated number).
