  1. What Are Cookies

    A cookie is a message downloaded to a web browser by a web server. The browser stores this message in a text file which is stored on your computer. This file may then be read by the server each time the browser requests a page to be downloaded. Cookies are not programs and therefore cannot contain viruses or other malicious software. They are purely a string of text and numbers.
    There are two main types of cookies - session cookies and persistent cookies.
    1. Session cookies only last during a single visit. When a user closes their web browser the session cookie information is automatically removed from their computer.
    2. Persistent cookies are stored by the user's web browser even after the web browser has been closed. The next time a user goes back to the originating website the server can read back information from the cookie. Persistent cookies have an expiry date which controls when they are automatically deleted. This can be anything from a few minutes to several years.
