What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be session-based, meaning they are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted.

Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These tools help us understand how visitors move through the site and which pages are most useful. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide it through a form or account feature.

  • Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until deleted.
  • Web beacons and pixels are small graphics used to track page views and interactions.
