What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file which is downloaded and stored on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. Where cookie technology is not available, an anonymous identifier may be used. An anonymous identifier is a random string of characters used for the same purposes as a cookie. Your browser accesses the cookie file only when you visit the website that generated it.

The information stored within any given cookie can only be accessed by the website that created it and cookies are limited to communicating only the information you have disclosed to the site.
