What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies do not contain personally identifying information by themselves; however, personal data that is stored about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.
Cookies can be classified as "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period of time 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 different organisation from the one operating the website you are visiting.
