1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit it. They let the site recognise your browser on later visits, remember choices you made or count how a page is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage in the browser, work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy too.
Almost every website sets cookies, and many basic functions depend on them, such as keeping a page secure or remembering a setting.
A cookie cannot run programs or carry viruses, and it can be read only by the site that set it or by the service named in it.
