What are cookies?
A cookie is a tiny file that is saved by your browser when you visit a website. This is sometimes referred to as “dropping a cookie”. It enables certain information about your visit to be stored by the site, to save you from re-entering information in the future (such as preferences) and to enhance the overall experience, including the speed and security of the website. Some of these cookies are essential in order for a website to run as you expect it to.
Some cookies are active during your session on the website, and will automatically delete after you close your browser. Other cookies are persistent and will either expire after a certain period of time (e.g. one month) or when you tell them to in your browser’s settings.
