What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your digital device each time you visit a website. Cookies enhance website users' experiences and provide information about the user or device.

A Simple Explanation

Imagine visiting a huge supermarket with countless products and aisles. Remembering where everything is can be overwhelming. Now, picture having a friendly shopping assistant who recalls what you bought last time and what you were interested in. This would make your shopping experience much easier and more personal, right?

In the digital world, a cookie functions like this assistant. It is a small file placed on your computer, phone, or tablet when you visit a website, designed to "remember" your preferences and actions.

What Does a Cookie Do?

1. A Cookie Remembers Information

Like the shopping assistant in the example above, cookies remember:

What you placed in your shopping cart
Which pages you visited
If you are already logged in
Your preferred language settings

2. A Cookie Provides Personalization

Cookies help websites remember your preferences, such as your preferred language or currency. This way, you don’t have to reset them each time you visit.

3. A Cookie Personalizes Advertisements

Some cookies track your interests to display ads that better match your preferences.

2. Based on Ownership

First-Party Cookies: Set by our website to remember login details and user preferences.
Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services, often for advertising or analytics purposes.

Performance/Analytical Cookies: Track how visitors use the website, such as the most-visited pages.
Functional Cookies: Remember user choices to enhance experience (e.g., preferred language).
