Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember information about your visit.
Some cookies stick around for a single browsing session and disappear when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for months or even years, depending on their purpose. They can't access other files on your computer or spread viruses – they're simply data files that help websites function properly.
Beyond traditional cookies, we also use web beacons, pixels, and local storage technologies. These work similarly to cookies but have different technical implementations. For simplicity, when we say "cookies" in this policy, we're referring to all these tracking methods unless we specify otherwise.
