Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you access websites.

This process improves browsing efficiency and ensures that pages function consistently.
Cookies are not harmful programs or executable files. They cannot access files on your device or install viruses. Instead, they are simple identifiers that allow websites to remember preferences, recognize returning visitors, and provide smoother navigation.
