What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. These files contain information that allows websites to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time. Cookies are widely used on the internet and are essential for many websites to function properly and provide users with a better experience.
