1What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owners. Cookies allow a site to recognise your device, remember your preferences and give you a smoother, more personalised experience.
Alongside cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage and software development kits (SDKs) in our mobile app. In this policy, we refer to all of these simply as "cookies". You can learn more about cookies on Wikipedia.
