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 more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie, and the next time you visit the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics or advertising platforms (known as third-party cookies).
