What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help the site function properly, remember your preferences, and improve your overall browsing experience.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to work, while others help us understand how visitors interact with our pages so we can make improvements.

There are two main types of cookies:

Session Cookies: These are temporary and deleted when you close your browser.
