What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or other devices when websites are loaded in a browser. They help remember you and your preferences for either a single visit (a “session” cookie) or multiple visits (a “persistent” cookie). Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are removed. Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third parties (third-party cookies), such as analytics or advertising partners.
