What Are Cookies?
We’re glad you asked! Cookies make the data analytics world go round, so the more web users know what exactly they are, the better.
Cookies are tiny data files that are generated by every site that uses them (most do!) and saved by your web browser. They remember information about you. Most commonly, cookies remember your username and password, or just your username, usually after prompting you with a “Remember me on this computer” message. Cookies are also used to store user preferences for a specific site. For example, a financial website may use cookies to see which stock quotes you checked recently.
