What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Think of cookies like a small note that a website leaves on your device. When you return to that website, the site reads the note to remember who you are and what you prefer. This makes your experience smoother and more personalized.
