What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can do a number of things, such as remembering your preferences, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, and generally improving your experience. They can also help to ensure that advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
Think of cookies like a website's memory. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. For example, a website might remember your login details, your language preference, or the items you have in your shopping cart.
