What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. These files are created by the website's server and allow the site to recognize you when you return. Think of a cookie as your personal identification card for interacting with a website.

Why are cookies used?

Cookies make browsing more efficient and personalized. They enable websites to:

• Remember your preferences, like login details or language settings.

• Store items in your shopping cart for future visits.

• Provide tailored content or recommendations based on your browsing habits.

• Collect anonymous data to analyze website traffic and improve functionality.

Cookies also help businesses serve targeted advertisements based on users’ interests and browsing patterns.

Are cookies safe?

Yes, cookies are just text files—they are not programs and cannot execute code or spread viruses. Modern browsers also provide controls to manage or block cookies, giving you more control over their use.

What about privacy concerns?

Cookies cannot access information stored on your device or gather personal details like your email address unless you explicitly provide it to a website. However, some cookies (e.g., third-party cookies used for advertising) may track your browsing activity across multiple sites, which has raised privacy concerns.

To address this, most modern websites comply with privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These laws require websites to:

• Obtain your consent before storing non-essential cookies on your device.

• Allow you to manage your cookie preferences.
