What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that hold information. Websites place them on devices like computers and mobile phone when people visit websites or use apps. They can be used for:

  • enabling the website to work correctly,

The website or app that placed the cookie file can access the data they contain and allow other websites and apps to use them. Cookies do not identify you or contain sensitive information like addresses, names or payment details.

First and third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by the website you’re visiting. These are called ‘first party’ cookies. Others may be set by a third-party organisation when you use a website. For example, they could be set by a tool built into the website to gather data about how the website is performing, or by an advertising platform that’s used to bring visitors to the website by a marketing team.

Cookie duration

Some cookies only exist for a short period of time on a device and are automatically deleted within minutes or hours. Others last for longer. These are called ‘persistent cookies’, and some exist for years unless manually deleted. These can be used to analyse many visits to a website over time or to customise the content that’s displayed.
