What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting. 

Cookies can either be session (which are stored temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed) or persistent (which are saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed and are used to manage return visits).
