What is a cookie?

Print

A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer via your web browser when you visit some websites.

Cookies store information about your visit - like where you went on the site and what you did.

What does a Cookie do?

Cookies have a variety of different functions, from remembering purchasing information or session.

A cookie from a particular website is stored on the hard drive of your computer and used the next time you visit that site.

Delete your Cookies

Sometimes a cookie can become "corrupted" (stop working) which can stop a website from functioning correctly - like an account with a login.

The simplest solution (and in fact a good computer health tip) is to delete your cookies.

In Internet Explorer, simply go to Tools, then Internet Options Click the Delete button and then click the Delete Cookies option.
