What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

The cookies set by the website owner are generally used to remember things like your user preferences, to keep you logged in, or to save items in a shopping cart. Third-party cookies are often used for advertising and marketing purposes, or for analytics to help website owners understand how visitors use their site.
