Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you return to the site or browse from one page to another.
