1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your preferences, language, or whether you've accepted a cookie notice — so you don't have to re-enter it each time you return.
We also use similar technologies including local storage, session storage, and pixels that function in the same way.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
