What is a cookie Mark? I usually dip them into a nice cup of tea!
Personal computers, laptops, mobile devices, and even televisions utilize cookies. A cookie functions similarly to an instruction manual, assisting in the display of websites and utilizing a cache to store information. This very page employs a cookie to facilitate your navigation. The process involves the browser or device inquiring, "How should I present this information to the user?" The website's script then provides the necessary details through the cookie, which the browser interprets and displays. While the mechanics are more complex, this explanation offers a straightforward understanding of how cookies operate.
A relevant example is when you search for Butlins-related products, after which you encounter advertisements for sites that include these items. This situation may prompt you to wonder, "How did it know I was looking at this?" The answer is found in the use of cookies. These cookies are not harmful to your device and are specifically designed to monitor your viewing habits to improve the service you receive.
The Butlins Memorabilia website serves as another example of cookie usage. As described below, eBay supports the site through advertisements. When a user clicks on a suggested sales link, like a postcard, the cookie tracks whether the sale is completed. It does not collect any personal information, such as payment details or usernames; its purpose is solely to verify if the purchase has been made. This results in a small commission being returned to the Butlins Memorabilia website as a thank-you for the referral. It is crucial to reiterate that this cookie does not obtain any personal user and details can be found further below this page
Can I delete these cookies, Mark?

If I delete this cookie, will the website stop working for me?
The removal of these cookies will have very little impact on your experience on the Butlins Memorabilia website. The site will still load and continue to show you the information that has been added here for your enjoyment. However, please note that new cookies will be added to keep everything updated. I would recommend that you delete the cookies and internet history at least once a week to keep your device running smoothly.
