Cookies seem to have a bit of a bad reputation, as they are often used by advertising and social media companies to track users, but they're actually quite important to the normal functioning of the web. As with all technology, it's not so much what they are, but how they are used that can be the problem.

If you want to understand more about Cookies and why they are used, why some people don't want them enabled, and what you should do, then please read our guides here. These are some questions we've been asked about it. Hopefully these answers can make the whole topic of Browser Cookies bit clearer for you. If anything isn't covered, please send us a message and we'd be happy to explain a bit further.
