What is a cookie? 🍪
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser and computer (or whatever device you’re using to visit).
It’s like the website writes a reminder on a tiny, virtual post it note, and sticks it onto you. That note might be something like: “This person has a teddy bear in their shopping basket” or “This person wants to stay logged in.”
Cookies are how websites seem to magically remember who you are. When you go back to a website, it checks your computer for the cookies it left there – reminding itself who you are, what pages you’ve visited, the account settings you chose, things like that.
Almost everything you do on the internet involves cookies in some way. Here’s more about cookies and how they work.
