What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser (a browser is the software on your device which enables you to access the internet). The cookie stores a unique identifier (a string of random characters) so that your browser can be singled out from other browsers to show you the information you want. It is often used to link your browser to databases that hold data about your online behaviour and inferred interests, along with other data such as your IP address or device ID, and other types of storage, such as local or “HTML” storage.

From now on we will refer to these technologies collectively as ‘cookies’. Cookies are typically used by websites or where apps have embedded web browsers which allow them to access the internet.

For more details about cookies and details of how to delete and disable cookies you can visit www.aboutcookies.org and also see our section on more information and turning cookies off below.
