What are ‘cookies’?

‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example Chrome or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store things like user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a ‘local memory’ for the website so that it can recognize you when you come back and respond appropriately.

Are cookies dangerous?

No. Cookies are small pieces of text. They are not computer programs, and they can't be executed as code. Also, they cannot be used to disseminate viruses.

Unless you are signed in to ChromaChecker™, we cannot use these cookies to identify individuals. We use them to gather statistics, for example, the number of visits to a page. If you are logged in, we will also know the details you gave to us for this, such as your username and email address.
