What Exactly Are Cookies?
Think of cookies as tiny notes your browser keeps about your visits. They store bits of information that make your experience smoother and more personalized. Your device holds onto these files, and our servers read them when you return. Some disappear the moment you close your browser window, while others stick around for months or even years.
These files cannot harm your computer, steal your passwords, or access other information stored on your device. They simply facilitate communication between your browser and our platform.
