1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be either "session" cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose content appears on the page ("third-party cookies").
