01. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or smartphone — when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites and editorial platforms to help them work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide basic analytics data to the site's editorial team.
Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own. They store a small amount of data which may include a unique identifier, the website name, and some numbers and letters. This data is read by the website each time you return to the page.
Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — may also function in a comparable way to cookies. References to "cookies" in this policy cover all such similar technologies unless stated otherwise.
