What is a Cookie and what are they used for?

A cookie is a small file made up of text that is downloaded and stored on your computer by your web browser whenever you visit a website containing cookies. Each time you then visit the website, your computer will send these cookies back to the website allowing it to recognise you and personalise your experience by, for example;

• Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task
• Recognising that you may already have been given a username and password so you don't need to do it for every web page requested
• Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and to ensure there is enough capacity for a fast service
• Analysing anonymised data to help us understand how people interact with us so we can make them better
