What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences and to provide information to site operators about how visitors use their pages. Cookies are stored by your web browser and can be read by the site that created them on subsequent visits.
Cookies can be classified by their duration and by their origin. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by analytics or advertising services embedded in the page.
