Cookies are small files of letters and numbers (or information) which are created when you visit a site that uses cookies. This information is sent by a web server to a web browser, and is then stored by the browser. The information is sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. These information files are either stored in the memory of your device, or are placed on the hard drive of your device. When we refer to a ‘device’, we mean the computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device you use to access the internet.
