1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites you visit send to your device (usually your browser). They are stored there and then sent back to those same websites the next time you visit.
While browsing a particular website, users may receive on their device both cookies from the website they are visiting (known as “first-party” cookies) and cookies sent from different websites or web servers (known as “third-party” cookies). These third-party cookies may contain elements such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages on other domains, multimedia content, and more, which are displayed on the website the user is visiting.
Cookies can generally be used for various purposes, such as performing computer authentication, tracking browsing sessions, storing information about specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, profiling, storing preferences, and more.
