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 collect information about how the site is being used.

Cookies are sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").
