- What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners.
Some cookies are “session” cookies (which are deleted once you close your browser) and others are “persistent” cookies (which remain stored until they expire or are deleted).
We also use related technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage—collectively referred to as cookies in this policy.
