What are cookies?

A cookie is a very small text file that a web server can save on a computer’s hard drive to store some type of information about the user. The cookie uniquely identifies the computer and can only be read by the website that sent it to the computer.

They can also be used to obtain information about the date and time of the user’s last visit, measure certain traffic parameters within the site and estimate the number of visits so that CICAE – Association of Private and Independent Schools can focus and adjust its services and promotions more effectively.
