1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners or others. Cookies can perform a variety of functions:
- Essential Functions: Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons to allow a website to operate (for example, to remember your login state, or items in your shopping cart). These are often called "strictly necessary cookies."
- Preferences: Cookies can remember choices you make (such as your language or region) to provide a more personalised experience.
- Analytics: Cookies may be used to collect information about how visitors use a website – for instance, which pages are visited most, or if users get error messages on certain pages.
- Marketing: Cookies (and similar tracking technologies like pixels) can track browsing habits and are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests.
