What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may save on your computer or mobile device when you visit a page or site. The cookie will help the site or other sites recognize your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or similar files can do the same.

Some cookies contain personal information - for example, if you clicked "Remember me" when you logged in, the cookie will remember your username. Most cookies do not collect information that can identify you, but rather collect general information about how users access and use our sites or what their location is.
