1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit them. They are used to remember your preferences, improve your browsing experience and, in some cases, for tracking and advertising.

Local storage (localStorage) is a similar technology that allows storing data in your browser, but unlike cookies, this data is not automatically sent to the server with each request.
