What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or web application. Cookies are widely used by websites and web applications to make the site or application work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.  Cookies do not necessarily identify you if you are merely visiting a website; however, a cookie may store a unique identifier on your computer or mobile device when you register for an event or log in to the system.

Cookies set directly by the website or application you are using are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website or application are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. interactive content, analytics, and advertising). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website, and when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies that remain on your computer or mobile device only during your online session are known as “session cookies”, while cookies that remain on your computer or mobile device after you have closed out your browser are known as “persistent cookies”.
