Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or device by the websites you visit. These files contain data that helps websites remember your preferences, login information, or track your activity on the site. For example, cookies can keep you logged into your account or save your language settings so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you visit a website. When you visit a website, it sends a cookie to your device, which your browser then stores. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back, allowing the website to recognize you and provide a more personalized experience. Cookies can be session-based (temporary) or persistent (stored for a longer period), depending on their purpose.
Cookies enhance your browsing experience by making websites easier to navigate and more tailored to your needs. However, they also raise privacy concerns, as they can track your online activities. Most modern browsers allow you to manage cookies by letting you view, delete, or block them.Cookies are essential for a smooth, customized web experience but should be managed wisely to protect your privacy.
