What are cookies?

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identification code of a cookie that consists of a string of characters which websites and servers can use to identify the specific web browser on which the cookie has been saved. This enables the websites and servers that a user visits to distinguish between an individual user’s browser from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A particular web browser can be recognised and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.
