We'd love to be able to tell you they are little, round, chocolately, baked biscuits of deliciousness. Sadly, the reality is a little less exciting. Cookies are basically text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies (the small amounts of information, not the baked biscuits of deliciousness) are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie (third party cookie).
