About Cookies

Cookies are small files, often including unique identifiers, that are sent by web servers to web browsers.

Cookies can be used to identify and track users as they navigate different pages on a website and to recognize users returning to a website.

Cookies can be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie is stored by the browser and remains valid until its set expiry date (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date). A session cookie expires at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed.
