WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is information stored on your computer by the website you visit. Cookies usually store your settings, website preferences, such as preferred language or address. Later, when you reopen the same website, the web browser sends back the cookies belonging to that site. This allows the site to display information tailored to your needs.
Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personal information (such as your name or email address). However, this information can only be stored if you allow it – websites cannot access information that you have not provided and cannot access other files on your computer. The default activities of storing and sending cookies are not visible to you. However, you can change your internet browser settings to choose whether to approve or reject requests to store cookies, automatically delete stored cookies when closing the internet browser, and more.
