What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies set by the Knight Frank are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies".
