What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "first-party cookies" (set by us) or "third-party cookies" (placed by third-party services or websites).
