2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit them.

Cookies help websites recognize certain browser information and remember details about your interactions.

For example, cookies can help a website remember products added to a shopping cart or maintain a browsing session.

Some cookies are essential for basic website functions, while others may support analytics, personalization, or advertising activities.

Cookies generally fall into two categories:

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and typically expire when you close your browser or end your browsing session.

They may help maintain important website functions while you navigate between pages.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

They may help remember certain settings, preferences, or other information between visits.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the service that places it.
