1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded on the page ("third-party cookies"). First-party cookies are set by and belong to the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by organizations other than the website you are visiting, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to remember your actions during a single browsing session.
- Persistent cookies: these remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple browsing sessions.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and web beacons. These technologies are covered by the same principles described in this notice.
