What are cookies and how do they work?

Cookies are small files that are sent to and stored on your computer, mobile or tablet by websites you visit. These files are stored in the folder of the relevant internet browser you use when you are browsing a website. If you visit a website repeatedly, your browser will reload the stored cookies and send them back to the website or element that created the original cookie. This usually ensures that the website functions properly.
