They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to gather analytical information about how visitors use their sites.

Cookies are sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your device. Each time you visit the website again, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about you, such as your preferences or login status.

Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information on their own; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations whose services are embedded within the website (known as "third-party cookies").
