2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you return.

Cookies may be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

Other tracking technologies we use include web beacons (small electronic images embedded in web pages or emails), pixels, and local storage objects. These function similarly to cookies and are used for the same purposes.
