What are cookies?

Cookies are little snippets of information that are stored on your computer by a website, and they're normally used to keep track of something - who you're logged in as, or what you've got in your shopping basket, for example - as you move between pages on a website.

The problem with cookies

This sort of use of cookies isn't a problem - in fact, it's pretty essential to how lots of things the web work. However, cookies can also be (mis)used to track which websites you visit and to provide information to advertisers with ammunition for behavioural advertising.

Because of the privacy implications of being tracked by cookies, a new EU directive requires that websites obtain consent before using cookies.
