1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to give website owners information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" (deleted automatically when you close your browser).
