What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit. Think of them as a memory aide — they allow the site to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you navigate.
They contain no personally identifiable information on their own and cannot run code or deliver viruses. Most cookies are temporary (session cookies) and expire when you close your browser; others (persistent cookies) remain for a defined period.
You remain in control — most browsers allow you to view, manage, or delete cookies at any time (see Section 4).
