What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information — such as whether you have already seen a notice — so you do not have to encounter it again on every visit. Cookies do not harm your device and cannot run programmes.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies). Both types are described below.
