A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your browser every time you visit a website. They are used so that the website remembers your last visit when you browse the page again.

What cookies are NOT
A cookie is NOT a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam, spyware, or a popup window. Cookies have been used for 20 years, ever since the first internet browsers appeared.
Information stored in a cookie
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your ID or personal information, etc. The data they do store is of a technical nature, personal preferences, personalisation of content, etc. The web server does not associate you as a person but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website using Firefox or Chrome, you will find that the website does not recognise that you are the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.
