What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer
or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to
remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font
size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t
have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or
browse from one page to another.
