The Basics
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites save to your computer or mobile device when you visit them. They remember your actions and preferences — such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences — over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Legal Framework
