A cookie is a small text file containing information that a website transfers to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes and allows us to analyse our site traffic patterns. That means I can get a general idea of how many people visit my website, where people are located etc. It doesn't mean I know anything about you personally (I am sure you are very nice). Nor does not contain chocolate chips, you cannot eat it and there is no special hidden jar. The EU and California very sensibly are trying to help us keep our personal information private. In popping up this notice I am complying with their sensible laws, but I do appreciate it's annoying nonetheless. Click the button and I hopefully won't bother you again. Ok
