A cookie is a small text file which is placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit some websites.

A cookie has a name and stores a value. For example, one of the cookies we use is called “referrerType” and stores the page you were on when you clicked a link to visit our website – it helps us see where our visitors come from.

Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

When you revisit a website, the expiration date can be updated to maintain the cookie.

Cookies can also be set to delete when you end your “session” on a website by leaving it. With some browsers, these cookies will be removed when you restart your browser (close and open it again) or the next time you restart your computer.
