About cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites can send to your computer. A cookie can be thought of as an Internet user’s identification card, which tells a website when the user has returned. Cookies are not computer programmes, and can’t read other information saved on your hard drive. They cannot be used to disseminate viruses, or get a user’s email address etc. They only contain and transfer to the site as much information as the users themselves have disclosed to that website.

Cookies make the interaction between users and sites faster and easier. Without cookies, it would be very difficult for a website to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping basket or to remember the user’s preferences or registration details for a future visit.
