Ah, the cultural confusion between American and British English strikes again! Someone's clearly been deep in web development and heard about "cookies" but then remembered the British call cookies "biscuits." So naturally, they had to Google if British websites use "biscuits" instead of "cookies" for storing user data.

For the uninitiated: in web development, cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about you. They're called cookies everywhere, even in Britain where actual edible cookies are called biscuits. The browser doesn't change terminology based on your location settings.

Imagine if they did though: "This site uses biscuits to enhance your experience, love. Fancy a cuppa while you accept?"
