1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to website owners.

Cookies typically contain:

• The name of the website that placed the cookie.
• The lifetime (duration) of the cookie.
• A unique value or identifier, usually a randomly generated number.

Cookies do not contain viruses or malware, and they cannot access other files on your device. They simply help websites remember your actions and preferences over time.
