What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can place in your browser or on your device. They can help a website recognise certain information while you move between pages or when you return on another visit. In plain English, they are one way a website can keep track of useful browser-level details. They are not physical files sent by post, and they are not part of a visit to Copper & Linen itself.
A simple definition: a cookie is a small browser file that can help a website remember information connected with your visit.
Depending on the website feature, cookies can be useful for helping pages work, remembering choices you make, or helping us understand how people use site content so it can be improved. These are website-related purposes only. The sections below explain the kinds of purposes that may apply in more detail.
- Helping core website functions work as expected.
- Remembering practical choices where that function is available.
- Supporting broad understanding of how pages are used.
