What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how their sites are used.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
Cookies can also be classified as first-party cookies, which are set by the website you are visiting, or third-party cookies, which are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting.
