2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:
