2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

How Cookies Work

Cookies are created when you visit a website that uses cookies. The website sends information to your browser, which then creates a text file. Every time you go back to the same website, your browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server.

Cookie Lifespan

Cookies can be classified based on their lifespan:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable websites to recognize you as you navigate between pages.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them manually. They enable websites to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sessions.

First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can also be classified based on who sets them:

• First-Party Cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting directly.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by domains other than the one you are visiting, typically for advertising, analytics, or social media integration purposes.

7. "Do Not Track" Signals

"Do Not Track" (DNT) is a browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you have enabled DNT in your browser, we will respect your choice and not track your browsing behavior on our site.

However, third-party content embedded on our website may not respond to DNT signals. We are not responsible for the tracking practices of these third parties.

Currently, various browsers offer a DNT option, but there is no standard for how DNT requests should be interpreted. As a result, not all websites and online services respond to DNT signals consistently.
