What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Think of cookies as a website's memory. They enable a website to recognize a user's device and tailor the website's content to match that user's preferences. Without cookies, a website would treat you as a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site.
