2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, font size, and other display preferences. This can make your next visit to the website easier and the site more useful to you.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies on our Website, such as:
