2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, improve efficiency, and provide reporting information.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
