What Are Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information in the form of small text files that a website can save in your browser. They are typically used to keep track of the settings users have selected and actions they have taken on a site to improve the users experience. Some cookies disappear when you close your session and some are retained for months.

​

There are first party and third party cookies. First party cookies are put on your computer by the site you are now visiting, third party cookies are put on your computer by other parties that have content on that site, for example other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements on the page being loaded.

​​

What do Cookies do?
The main purpose of web cookies is to make the internet experience easier for users. When websites can remember your past visits, they can load their website with your preferences. Here are a few examples of what cookies can do when you visit a website:

Set your chosen language preference

Remember if certain settings are turned on
Authenticate your identity
Prevent fraud

​

Should I be concerned about Cookies?
Many people associate cookies with the cross-site tracking used by advertising companies. Tracking somebody across multiple sites relies on third-party cookies.

​

Advertisers like Google and Facebook can track users as they travel around the web from site to site, building up profiles of the kinds of sites they like to visit, and showing them targeted advertising.

​

This is how Facebook uses its Like buttons, and Google uses its advertising code, to track you across the web. They can tell whenever you visit a site that includes one of their components because they can read their own cookies.

​

The tracking stops if you block or delete those cookies.

​
