What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie is a text file is stored in your web browser by a web page server and allows the Service or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you.
Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies and can be defined as follows:

Persistent cookies can track your activity not only on the site that issued the cookie but also on any site that includes a resource issued by the same site. This is the mechanism sites like Google and Facebook use to create a log of user activity across multiple websites.
- Session cookies: These are temporary cookies stored in the browser’s memory just until the browser is closed. These types of cookies pose less of a security risk and are used to control the page elements shown to a user during a single multi-page visit to a website, and for other short-term storage purposes.
