2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit them.

They can help websites function correctly, remember user preferences, maintain security and understand how visitors interact with online content.

Cookies may be temporary session cookies, which normally expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a specified period.

Cookies may be placed by our website (first-party cookies) or by external service providers (third-party cookies).
