Cookies Policy
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser and are used to remember your settings for future visits. Session cookies, on the other hand, are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Think of cookies as a website's memory. They allow the site to remember your preferences (like language settings or login information) and tailor the experience to your needs. Without cookies, websites would treat you like a new visitor every time you navigate to a different page or revisit the site.
