What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your browser and allows this website or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and more useful to you. Cookies can be "session" or "persistent" cookies.
Session cookies - these are temporary and are erased when you close your browser at the end of your surfing session. The next time you visit that particular site it will not recognise you and will treat you as a completely new visitor as there is nothing in your browser to let the site know that you have visited before (more on session cookies).
Persistent cookies - these remain on your hard drive until you erase them or they expire. How long a cookie remains on your browser depends on how long the visited website has programmed the cookie to last. A persistent cookie enables a website to remember you on subsequent visits, speeding up or enhancing your experience of services or functions offered (more on persistent cookies).
