What is a Cookie?

Cookies are small files which are stored on your device to keep track of your visit to a website and your preferences, as you move between pages, and sometimes to save settings between visits.

Cookies enable a website to tag your device and recognize it as you move around the site (and potentially when you return at a later date) so that, for example you do not have to re-enter your password each time you move between pages of the website.

Cookies also enable the developers of websites to gather statistics about how often people visit certain areas of the website and help in tailoring websites to be more useful and user-friendly.

Terminology

When trying to understand Cookies, and how to control them, it can help to know some terminology:

• First party cookies: Cookies installed on your device by the organization running the website you are visiting are known as “first party” cookies.
• Third party cookies: Cookies installed on your device via the website you are visiting by another organization are termed “third party” cookies. An example is a cookie set by a specialist website analytics company that provides the website owner with data on the numbers of people visiting its website.
• Persistent cookies: remain on your device even after you close your internet browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a "persistent cookie" is used on a website to remember your login details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website.
• Session cookies: these are temporary cookies and are typically used to enable the website to operate, e.g. by permitting a user to move from page to page without having to log in again. Once you close your browser, all session cookies are deleted.
