What are cookies?

A cookie is a file with an identification code (a series of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
Cookies can be either ‘permanent’ or ‘session’ cookies: a permanent cookie is stored by a web browser and remains valid until the set expiry date, unless it is deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, expires at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
Cookies do not usually contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
 

What cookies does BRAFA use?
