1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (language, login, etc.) for a period of time so that you don't have to re-enter them on every visit.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies (local storage, pixel tags, web beacons) that are treated under the same principles.
