Put simply, a cookie is technology for remembering something about you.
Well over 90% of websites use cookies. Cookies do not contain any personal information about you and cannot be used to identify an individual user.
They aren’t automatically good or bad, but it’s worth understanding what you can do about them.
Without cookies, a website is limited in its functionality. It can’t automatically log you in, because it forgets who you are. It can’t let you buy anything, because it forgets what you’re buying. On a positive note, it also means it can’t track you.
Most web browsers accept cookies by default. However, if you are uncomfortable with cookies, you may be able to set your web browser to refuse all cookies or to let you know when a cookie is sent to your computer – you can then choose whether to accept the cookie, or not. The Help function within your browser should tell you how.
Please note: By refusing our cookies or disabling future cookies you may not be able to use certain areas or features of our site.
A better option would be to turn off 3rd party cookies, which will stop most websites from sharing information about you. Some browsers – like Safari – do this automatically.
