1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit a website. These files store information about your interactions with the site and your preferences for future visits. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device, improving functionality, user experience, and offering personalized content.
There are different types of cookies:
