What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. They're like digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit.

Think of them like a valet ticket at a hotel – they help us recognize you when you come back and remember your preferences, so you don't have to start from scratch each time.
