What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
Cookies can be "session cookies" — which are deleted when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies" — which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
Similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage may also be used and are referred to as "cookies" throughout this policy.
