What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile 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 websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, 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.

Cookies can be either "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser and will be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the website. Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.

Cookies can also be categorized as "first-party" or "third-party" cookies. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. For example, if you visit captivatingvisions.com and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.
