What are Cookies and how are they used on our website?

A cookie is text-only information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can remember who you are.  Without a cookie every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor.
