What exactly is a Cookie?

An HTTP Cookie—commonly referred to as just “cookie”—is a parcel of data sent back and forth between the web browser you are using on your device (i.e PC, Laptop, Tablet or Phone) and the server it accesses, to get the web page and information you requested – such as Clocks & Chimes home page.

When you access any website, or third party service provider used by the website, they can send their cookie to your browser, if your browser’s preferences allow it. But (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website or third party service provider to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the other cookies sent to you by other sites or other third party service providers. All websites should have a cookies policy to refer to and Under EU laws sites should provide you with your options regrading cookies.
