Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website operators about how visitors use their site. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot be used to access files on your device.

These remember choices you have made to provide a more personalised experience, such as preferred sections or previously completed quizzes.

Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation or visit aboutcookies.org.
