1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners. Browser storage mechanisms such as localStorage work similarly — they store small pieces of data on your device — but are not transmitted automatically with every request the way cookies are.
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, certain types of cookies and tracking technologies require your prior informed consent before they can be placed on your device.
