1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site. We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage; for simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
