Detailed Information
What you should know about cookies
Cookies help provide a better and faster online experience. A cookie is a small text file that stores internet settings. Nearly every website uses cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are downloaded by your internet browser and placed on your device the first time you visit a website.
The next time you visit the same website using the same device, the website will recognize your previous visit and tailor content accordingly, improving your browsing experience.
For example, if you add an item to an online shopping cart without completing the purchase, the next time you visit that site, the item may still be in your cart—this is thanks to cookies.
