2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. These files are created by the website server and stored in your browser's memory. Each time you revisit the website, your browser sends these cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

Cookies serve a variety of purposes. Some are essential for the basic functionality of the website — without them, the site simply would not work. Others help us understand how visitors interact with our content, enabling us to improve the overall user experience. Still others are used to deliver relevant advertising or to remember your personal preferences.

Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code. They cannot carry viruses or malware, and they cannot access other information stored on your device. They are simply data files that help websites function more efficiently and provide valuable information to website owners.
