2- What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that websites store on your device when you visit them. These files typically contain information about the website, a unique identifier to recognize your web browser upon return visits, additional data relevant to the cookie’s purpose, and the lifespan of the cookie.
Cookies serve various functions, such as enabling core features (e.g., logging in), tracking site usage (e.g., analytics), storing user settings (e.g., timezone, notification preferences), and personalizing content (e.g., advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you visit are known as “first-party cookies” and primarily track your activity on that particular site. Additionally, there are “third-party cookies” set by other sites and companies, which can track your activity on websites that utilize the same third-party services.
