6. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
This sections explains the specific technologies built into your browser that we use. There are other storage technologies available in your browser, such as a mini-database called IndexedDB, but we don't use these at present.
Cookies
(1) This is the most well-known technology, and has been in web browsers since they were first invented in the 1990s.
(2) A cookie is a tiny text file that is stored by your browser in a special folder on your computer.
(3) Your browser lets you examine them and delete them.
(4) For example, if you use Chrome, insert the following in the address bar: "chrome://settings/siteData".
(5) Your web browser lets you block cookies through settings, but some parts of the site may not work as a result.
Local and Session Storage
(1) This is less well known technology, and has only been in browsers in the last 10 years.
(2) Your browser lets a web page store a value against a name (called a key pair), and retrieve it later. It is like a cookie, but stored in a different place.
(3) This is either called Local Storage (it is stored forever, until you clear all of your history), or Session Storage (it is stored until you leave the web page only).
(4) If you have Chrome, open the Developer Tools with "CTRL + SHIFT + I", and go to the Application tab.
JavaScript
(1) JavaScripts are computer programs that a web-browser can download and run.
(2) They have been in web-pages and web-browsers since the 1990.
(3) They cannot access your computer, but they can access what you do in the web page it came with, and send information back to the computer that sent the web page to you.
(4) They are used both to animate and operate the functionality of the web page, and to send or retrieve data to the computer that sent the web page to you.
(5) They can track key presses, clicks and mouse movements and send details of them back; which is often used for analytics purposes.
(6) If you have Chrome, open the Developer Tools with "CTRL + SHIFT + I", and go to the Sources tab to see all Javascripts downloaded by our website.
(7) Your web browser lets you block Javascripts through settings, but some parts of the site may not work as a result.
