2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and report information to site owners.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and sent to your browser. The browser then stores the cookie as a small file. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information on their own. However, the personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not viruses or malware — they are simple text files and cannot execute code or deliver malware.

2.1 Types of Cookies by Duration

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Session cookies help our website remember what you selected on the previous page, avoiding the need to re-enter information.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit the website that created the cookie. Persistent cookies help websites remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
