1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide analytical data and personalized content.
Cookies do not give us access to your device or personal data beyond what you choose to share.
They are simply a way for a website to “remember” information between pages or sessions.
There are two main types of cookies:
- Session cookies — temporary files that are erased when you close your browser.
