? What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They serve various purposes including remembering your preferences, recognizing returning visitors, and enabling certain website features to function properly. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device's hard drive and stored there for varying durations.

Different types of cookies serve different purposes, from essential functionality cookies that make websites work properly to analytics cookies that help website owners understand how visitors interact with their content.

⚙️ How Cookies Function
