What are Cookies?

‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information sent by a web server to a web browser which enable the server to collect information from the browser. Essentially it takes the form of a small text file deposited on your computer’s hard drive.

Cookies can help to give you a more personalised web experience or act as a memory for a website, allowing that website to recognise your device if you return to the website. The use of cookies does not allow us to access any other information on your computer nor does it affect your experiences of using other websites.
