What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit. They are not programs — they cannot run code or carry viruses. They are used to remember things between page loads or visits: whether you have accepted the cookie notice, which pages you visited, and similar information.
Some cookies are necessary for a site to work at all. Others are optional and only run if you consent.
