What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website such as https://www.vectura.com/. They are unique to your account or your browser. Cookies allow websites to save useful information, which helps websites improve your online experience. Cookies can also be placed by third parties.
How are cookies used?
The web server supplying a web page can store a cookie on the user’s computer or mobile device. An external web server that manages files which is included or referenced in a web page is also able to store cookies. All of these cookies are called HTTP header cookies.
What other technologies are involved?
Another way of storing cookies is through JavaScript code contained or referenced in a web page.
Each time that a user requests a new web page, the web server can receive the values of the cookies that it had previously set and return the page with content relating to these values. Similarly, JavaScript code is able to read a cookie belonging to its domain and perform an action accordingly.
