What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies are used to enable web pages to function more efficiently as well as providing information to the web page owner. Cookies also make it possible to distinguish users from each other, which can give the user a more positive experience of the website.
The term cookie is the most used term but “cookies” actually describe a range of technologies, such as;
- Pixel tags,
- Mobile device identifiers, and
- Web storage used in desktop software or mobile devices.
When we refer to “cookies” in this policy we mean all such technologies.
