What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information about how the site is being used.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on the website ("third-party cookies").
