What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded onto your device (e.g. computer, mobile phone or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive and are used to distinguish you from other website users.

Cookies are commonly used to improve the performance of websites, for optimising user experiences, and to provide website owners with information on how their website is used. For example, cookies may monitor how many times someone visits a website, which pages are read on that website, and where website users are located. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means you will not be identified individually.
