Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises such cookies. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device, preferences and generally help to improve your online experience.
