What Are Cookies
Cookies are files created by websites you visit. They store browsing information such as your preferences for the site or your profile details. There are two types of cookies:
- First-party cookies are set by the website that appears in the address bar.
- Third-party cookies originate from other websites that have content embedded on the page you’re visiting, such as ads or images.
Not all cookies are intrusive. For example, cookies help a website remember your preferred settings so they can be applied the next time you visit, even a week later. Cookies can also help a website remember your location to provide you with location-specific content, such as local weather updates.
Deleting Specific Cookies or All Cookies
You can remove both first-party and third-party cookie information, as well as other data stored on your devices. Please note that deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences on certain websites.
