Cookies and local storage

Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer as you browse the web. A cookie's job is to hold bits of useful information about your interaction with the website that sets them. For example, a cookie placed on your computer from a website can hold information regarding what you click on, how long you spend on a page, and more.

Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or application to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. Local storage can be used to help with delivering user preferences on a previously visited website (such as remembering how you like to order the columns on your calendar).

Basically, you can think of cookies and local storage as “memory” for a website. The information in the cookie will help our website recognise if you've been here before, and if there's any preferences that you've established.
