Cookies

A cookie is a small data file, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your web browser from a website’s computer and is stored on your device.

When you visit this website, the pages and images you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking for a cookie left there on the last visit.
