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
