Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to the website operators.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually).
