For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information on its users. To do this a site will create cookies – small text files that are stored to the users computer. This cookies are designed to allow a website to recognize its users on subsequent visits, or to authorize other designated websites to recognize these users for a particular purpose.
Cookies do a lot of different jobs which make your experience of the internet much smoother and more interactive. For instance they can be used to remember your preferences on sites you visit often, to remember your ID and the contents of your shopping basket, and so help you navigate between pages more efficiently. They also help ensure that the advertisements that you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. Some data collected is designed to detect browsing patterns and approximate geographical location to improve users experience.
