What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files which get placed on your laptop, PC, tablet, or mobile phone when you visit a website page. They are used all over the internet to track visitors, tell the owners what pages have been visited, store what the visitor has done on the site, track returning visitors, and sometimes to tell another website where that visitor has come from.

You can see that much of this activity is designed to be able to show a returning visitor more of what might be most interesting to them, but of course much of the use of cookies is for advertising or selling purposes.

Why Might You Be Worried About Cookies?
