It’s a code widely used by websites to track how customers access information. It also can be used to customize information and recall data so that you don’t have to retype it.
How cookies work
A cookie includes an anonymous, unique identifier that we use when you “log in” to access your private account information. It reminds us of who you are in order to deliver to you better and more personalized service.
