What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive which records how you move your way around a website. This can be used when you revisit a website to present tailored options based on your last visit, to analyse traffic to a website or for advertising or marketing purposes. Cookies are used by nearly all websites in one way or another.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies:

a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date.

a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

If you want to check or change what types of cookies you accept, this can usually be altered within your browser settings. You can block cookies at any time by activating settings on your browser. By not blocking cookies and continuing to browse, you authorise the use of cookies. If you use your browser settings to block all cookies, including essential cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

What is a Tracking Pixel?
