What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred through your browser from a website to the hard drive of your computer or mobile device each time you visit a website. With cookies, a website remembers your actions and preferences (such as your sign-in, language, font size, and other display-related preferences) over time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit the website or while you browse various websites. For these reasons, websites use cookies to identify and personalize settings of a particular website according to your preferences for each subsequent visit to the same website.
