What are 'cookies'?
'Cookies' are small text files that are stored by the browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge, Safari or other search engines) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store such things as user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a "memory" for the website, enabling it to recognise a user and respond appropriately.

If you have not selected 'keep me signed in,' your cookies get deleted when you either close your browser or shut down your computer.
How do I turn cookies off?
It is usually possible to stop your browser accepting cookies, or to stop it accepting cookies from a particular website. For example, we cannot tell if you are signed in without using cookies, so you would not be able to post comments.
