Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website you visit sends to your browser and stored on your device’s hard drive. They are used by many websites to do various things, like recognize you as a returning visitor, keep you logged in, or remember your preferences on a website. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (referred to as “first-party cookies”) or they may be set by other websites which run content on the page you’re viewing (in which case they are referred to as “third-party cookies”).
