What are cookies

Cookies, which consist of small data pieces stored in text files, are placed on your computer or other devices when websites are accessed through a browser. These cookies serve the purpose of “remembering” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (referred to as “session cookies”) or for multiple recurring visits (referred to as “persistent cookies”). They ensure a consistent and efficient user experience by facilitating essential functions like user registration and login persistence. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (referred to as “first-party cookies”) or by third parties, such as content providers, advertisers, or analytics services associated with the website (“third-party cookies”).

Additionally, websites and HTML emails may employ other tracking technologies, such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These technologies usually consist of small transparent images that provide statistical information, serving similar purposes to cookies. While web beacons are often used in conjunction with cookies, they are not stored on your computer in the same manner. Therefore, disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of web beacons, although they may still be loaded.
