1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by other services we use).
