WHAT IS A COOKIE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

 

When you visit a website that uses cookies for the first time, a cookie is downloaded to your PC - the next time you visit a website, your PC will check to see if it has a cookie that's 'relevant' - ie, if it uses the website name - it then sends the information in that cookie back to the website. This is how we'll know if you've been here before!
