What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on users' devices (such as computers, smartphones, and tablets) while they're browsing the internet. They allow websites to remember user preferences, session information, or other data about the user.

How do Cookies work?

Here's a simplified example:

  1. A website sets a cookie on your device.
  2. When you return to the website later, it sends the cookie back to your browser.
  3. The cookie contains some information (e.g., login details) that helps the website remember its interaction with you.

Types of Cookies

There are two main types:

  1. First-party cookies: set by a website that you're visiting directly (e.g., when you visit a friend's website).
  2. Third-party cookies: set by websites you've visited before or are currently interacting with (e.g., social media platforms).

Why use Cookies?

Cookies are useful for:

  • Personalisation: remembering user preferences and improving the experience.
  • Security: helping websites keep track of login details and protect against unauthorized access.
  • Analytics: collecting data on website interactions to improve its performance.
