What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, tablet, or phone — when you visit. They are stored in your browser and sent back to the website on your next visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work properly and to give website owners information about how their site is being used.
They are not programs; they cannot run code or deliver viruses. A cookie can only be read by the website that created it.
There are two main types: session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
