1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, whether you have already accepted the cookie notice, or basic technical settings that help pages load correctly.

Cookies do not give websites access to your computer or your personal files. They contain only the information placed there by the website itself.
