Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website you visit sends to your browser and stored on your device’s hard drive.

Cookies allow websites to recognize a user’s device and remember their previously selected preferences. They can be session-specific, lasting only while the browser’s open, or they can be stored longer, depending on the type.
