What are cookies?

A cookie consists of an identifier (combinations of letters and numbers) stored on a computer’s Internet browser. The Internet browser sends the stored identifier to the web server during every subsequent request. A cookie is essentially created when a web server sends an HTTP request to an Internet browser.

There are two types of cookies – persistent cookies and session cookies.

Session cookies remain active until the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies remain until they are deleted by the user or the expiry date set by the server has been reached.

Cookies do not usually have any personally identifiable information (PII). However, accounts linked to the user and other PII available can be linked with the information gathered through cookies.

While web browsing, cookies can identify and track users as they move from one page to another as well as recognise when the same visitor returns to the website.
