2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device through your browser by the websites you visit. A cookie may be stored on your device when you visit a website; when you visit the same website again with the same device, your browser sends the information in the cookie to that website. This allows the website, for example, to remember your preferences or to obtain statistical information on how the website is used.
Cookies are referred to as first-party cookies if they are placed by the website you visit, and third-party cookies if they are placed by a service provider other than that website; they are referred to as session cookies if they are deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies if they remain on the device for a certain period of time.
