What is a cookie?
The term “cookie” refers to a small data file consisting solely of a set of text information that the site transmits to the web browser located on your computer’s hard drive, either temporarily during your visit or sometimes for longer periods depending on the type of cookie. Cookies perform different functions (for example, to distinguish you from other visitors of the same site or remember certain things such as your preferences) and are used by most websites to improve your user experience.
Each cookie is unique to your browser and contains some anonymous information. A cookie typically contains the name of the cookie field, the cookie’s lifetime, and a value (usually in the form of a randomly generated unique number).
