9.1 About Cookies

A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on a user's computer (or mobile device) that is created when a user visits a website using a program called a browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or other).

A cookie isn't a program itself and doesn't actively do anything on a user's computer. A cookie cannot be used to identify a user but contribute to improving a user's experience of a website.

The website reads the contents of the cookie text file. The text file itself simply contains a unique identifier code; the site name and some digits and numbers.

9.2 Why are Cookies used?

Most websites will use cookies to improve user experience by enabling the website to “remember" the user, either for the duration of the visit or for repeat visits.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, such as:

- remembering which items a user may have added to a form or an itinerary as the user moves between pages on a website;

- saving a user's preferences to allow them to customise a website

- measuring what users do on a website to ascertain which parts of a website are popular, how long they spend on a website, how often users return, where they come from etc.
