What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files, located in browser directories. They are used by web developers and web development applications to help users navigate websites and perform certain functions on the site such as logging in and adding items to a shopping basket. Because of this, disabling cookies may prevent users from using certain websites or certain functions within websites.
Cookies are created when a user goes to a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file which is stored on the user's PC. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. Cookies may be created not just by the website the user is browsing but also by other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements on the page being loaded.
