enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task;
-
recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested;
-
measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast;
-
analysing data to help us understand how you use our services so we can improve them;
-
Cookies are stored in the computer’s memory only during your browsing session and are automatically deleted from your computer when the browser is closed.
These cookies usually store a session ID that is not personally identifiable to users, allowing you to move from page to page without having to log-in repeatedly.
Session cookies are never written on the hard drive and they do not collect any information from your computer. Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session and become no longer accessible after the session has been inactive for a specified length of time, usually 20 minutes.
