1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website owners.

Cookies can be “persistent” (they remain on your device until they expire or you delete them) or “session” cookies (they are deleted when you close your browser). They can also be “first-party” cookies (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” cookies (set by a different domain than the one you are visiting).
