What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by a web browser (for example, Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome or Opera) at the request of the site you are viewing. This allows the site you are browsing to remember some things about you. For example, your settings and history, or to keep you in an authorized state, when the next time you visit the site you no longer need to enter your login and password.


Cookies can be stored on your computer for a short period of time (for example, while your browser is open) or for a long period of time, even for years. Cookies set by other sites will not be available to us.
