What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device by your web browser. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners.
Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. They store information such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, but they may be linked to other data we hold.
