1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are minute alphanumeric text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by web servers when you navigate internet sites. They are broadly utilized to enable site navigation, maintain user sessions, enhance page rendering speeds, and compile high-level operational statistics.
Alongside standard HTTP cookies, modern websites may also utilize local storage mechanisms (such as HTML5 localStorage) to record basic interface preferences on your local browser.
