Cookies

Cookies. Sadly, they aren't nearly as exciting as they sound, but if you use the internet a lot, they're worth knowing about.

Cookies are small files that are saved automatically to your computer while you’re browsing online. Each one saves important information about how you use the internet – so the more you browse online, the easier and faster it becomes. How? Let's start at the beginning...

What are cookies?

Cookies are tiny text files that are automatically saved to your computer when you browse websites like Debenhams Personal Finance.

Most websites use cookies in some form or another. They work quietly behind the scenes, saving important information to make viewing web pages easier or faster for you. Have you ever typed the first few letters of your name in a browser window and seen it pop up underneath, to save you time? That's a cookie in action.

Cookies also send useful data to us - such as which pages on Debenhams Personal Finance you have visited, which ones you’ve spent the most time on and what time you visited. All of which helps us to improve the website for the next time you visit.

Are cookies safe?

Yes. We don't save data like your address or credit card details, so your personal information is secure. And cookies aren't harmful to your computer.
