Cookies: what are they?
A cookie is a small amount of data, placed on the computer of a user by a website.
Why do websites use cookies?
Webpages have no memory. A user who surfs from page to page within a website is not recognised as the same user across pages. Cookies enable the user's browser to be recognised by the website. Therefore, cookies are mainly used to remember the choices a user has made (e.g., remembering the language you speak), or to recognise recurring visitors to the site.
Do all cookies do the same thing?
