What Are Cookies?

“Cookies” are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website.
The information stored on your device may include details such as which pages you visited, the date and time of your visit, and a unique random user identification number.

There are two types of cookies: Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies. They serve different purposes and store different information.

  • Session Cookies contain information used during your current browsing session. These are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
