They are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. These identifiers cannot be used by themselves to identify you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you register with the Ballet BC site or services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Ballet BC ticketing website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.
When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the site, we collect information about the individual web pages that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the site, and information about how you interact with the site. This automatically-collected information is referred to as “Device Information.”
