What are Cookies?
Cookies are small files that are written to your machine by a website for the purpose of storing information. Because web pages are ‘stateless’ it means that each time you visit a web page the web page thinks it’s the first time you’ve ever visited that page and knows nothing about any other pages that you’ve visited. So cookies were devised to overcome this issue and allow websites to store useful information about the user’s actions. Imagine visiting an online shop without the use of cookies – as soon as you go to the next page it would forget anything that you’d put in your basket. Not very useful!
