involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for
example, computer or mobile phone. This information include small
files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you
personally.
Cookies are used to improve services for you through, for
example:
- Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don't have
to give the same information during one task
- Recognising that you have already given a username and password
so you don't need to enter it for every web page requested
- Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be
made easier to use and that there is enough capacity to ensure they
are fast
You can manage these small files yourself and learn more about
them from allaboutcookies.org.
