What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, handheld device, or mobile — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function as intended and to gather information about how readers engage with content.

Cookies do not run as programs or carry viruses. They are plain text files read by your browser and the server that set them. Different cookies serve different purposes: some are necessary for a website to function at all, while others provide additional functionality or gather anonymised usage information.

Session cookies are erased when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period and are activated when you return to the website that created them.
