1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. They are widely used by modern web platforms to make sites work properly, enhance user experience, and provide aggregated analytical information to site owners.
In addition to HTTP cookies, modern web browsers support Local Storage and Session Storage, which allow websites to store preference data (such as dark/light mode and newsletter subscription state) securely on your device without transmitting it over every network request.
