They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to report information about website usage.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting. The server sends the cookie to your browser, which stores it. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, which recognizes your device and can recall preferences or information about your previous visit.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but the information they store can be linked to personal data we hold about you, particularly if you have created an account or submitted information through our website.
