What are cookies?
Cookies are small files which are stored on a visitor’s computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular browser and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a webpage tailored to a particular visitor, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from your visit to a website to the next.
There is a lot of concern about privacy and security on the internet. Cookies do not in themselves present a threat to privacy, since they can only be used to store information that the user has volunteered to offer or that the web server already has.
