2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent to the browser of your computer, tablet, phone or other device when you visit a website. They stay on that device and send back data to the relevant website when you visit it again. There are generally different types of cookies, i.e.
- Session and Persistent Cookies: Session cookies last for the length of your visit and delete themselves when you close your browser or the app, whilst persistent cookies stay on your device after you close your browser.
- First and Third Party Cookies: First party cookies are set by the website or app you go to, whilst third party cookies are set by outside organisations. (For instance, you may be on a website that has ‘Like’ and ‘Share’ buttons for social network sites. If you click one, the social network site will put a ‘third party’ cookie on your device. That cookie may then collect data about you and send it to them too. You will need to set your privacy choices on their site, to tell them how they can use your data.)
- Essential and Non-Essential Cookies: Cookies are used for various different purposes, many of which aren’t essential to the functionality of the relevant website or app. Essential cookies are those essential to the functioning of the relevant website.
