1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your preferred settings, login state, and browsing activity — so your next visit is faster and more personalised.
Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are uniquely assigned to your browser and can only be read by the web server that issued them.
