1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have already seen a notice — so that your next visit is a little smoother.
Cookies do not contain personal information on their own, and they cannot run programmes or carry viruses. They are simply a way for websites to remember small pieces of data between visits.
