What are Cookies?

For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. Cookies are small text files that are created on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are designed to allow the website to recognize its users on subsequent visits and perform a variety of functions that make your internet experience smoother and more interactive.

Cookies can be used to:

• Remember your preferences on sites you visit often.

• Remember your user ID and any items in an online shopping cart (if applicable).

• Help you navigate between pages more efficiently.

• Help ensure that advertisements you see online are more relevant to your interests.

Much of the data collected by cookies is anonymous, though some of it is used to detect browsing patterns and approximate geographical location to improve the user experience.

Web Beacons

Some websites may also contain images called 'web beacons' (also known as 'clear gifs'). Web beacons only collect limited information, including a cookie number, a timestamp, and a record of the page on which they are placed1.
