What is a cookie?
When accessing or otherwise using a website, small pieces of data concerning your device and your visit are stored within your web browser, which can be retrieved upon future visits. These pieces of data make up a small file called a “cookie.” Both first and third parties can store their own cookies on your web browser. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that website (and other third parties) to recognise your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information.
These cookies may collect “personal information” as such term is defined under applicable law. However, typically, information collected via cookies includes the type of device you use, your operating system, IP address, browser type, and geolocation, and ties it to a randomized ID called a “cookie ID,” rather than your name, address, or other similar “direct” identifiers.
