What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file placed and stored by a platform on your browser or device. Cookies allow a website owner to distinguish the activities carried out from your device from other website users. Each website can send its cookie to your browser or device if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites.

How do we use cookies and our types of cookies?
