1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as preferences or whether you have been to the site before. Cookies are commonly used to improve user experience, analyse traffic, and display relevant advertisements.

2. How We Use Cookies
