1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, operate more efficiently, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that website (third-party cookies). 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.
