What are Cookies?

A "cookie" is a text file containing small amounts of information that websites may store on your computer, tablet or mobile phone to help carry out various useful functions, such as:

  • Remembering your login when returning to a site, or across multiple sites, to save you having to re-enter this information every time
  • Remembering personalization of a site, such as selecting the content you want to view or which page should be your default landing page
  • Tracking your use of a site so the website owner can ascertain how to more effectively target their content to you and determine where their site needs improvement

It is important to understand that cookies do not hold financial information, and when used for website tracking, they are simply tracking your use, not your personal data. For more general information on cookies see the Wikipedia article on HTTP Cookies.
