Cookies are tiny text files that web browsers use to store small amounts of information on your computer. In recent years they have gained a bad reputation because some websites set large numbers of cookies that last for a long time and share information with unexpected places.
The Microscopes 4 Schools website sets cookies that measure website use. They help us see which pages are popular on our site, what search terms led people here, and how people travel through the site. They contain a number that doesn’t identify you personally and changes if you switch browser or device, or if you delete cookies.
Since we use cookies to help us improve the site we would rather you didn’t disable them, but the site will still work if you do. The only difference you will see is that the cookie warning will appear on every page.
