What are cookies?
HTTP cookies (also called web cookies, Internet cookies, browser cookies, or simply cookies) are small blocks of data created by a web server while a user is browsing a website and placed on the user's computer or other device by the user's web browser. Cookies are placed on the device used to access a website, and more than one cookie may be placed on a user's device during a session.
Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only while the user is actively browsing your website. Once the user closes their browser, these cookies disappear.
Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies remain on the user’s device longer, even after they leave your website. These cookies are designed to remember a user’s information or behaviours over time.
Cookies help in enabling the following actions:
Personalization
Cookies can store your preferences, such as your language, currency, or theme. They can also remember what you've done on a site, like what pages you've viewed, what you've added to your shopping cart, and what links you've clicked.
Login
Cookies can store your username and password so you can log in to your accounts more easily.
Security
Some cookies are necessary for security purposes, such as authentication cookies.
