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. These files are stored in your web browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and actions.

Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember useful information, such as items added to a shopping cart, or to record your browsing activity. They help websites work efficiently and provide valuable information to website owners.
