Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you browse. They are essential for making websites work efficiently and provide a better user experience. Think of them as a website’s memory, helping it remember you and your preferences during your visit and on future visits.
Key Facts You Should Know About Cookies
– Cookies are commonplace on the internet. Almost every website you visit uses cookies to some extent. When you access a site that utilizes cookies, it instructs your web browser to create these small data files on your device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.). These files contain information necessary for the website to function correctly. Cookies are a fundamental part of web technology and are not inherently dangerous. They are designed to improve your browsing experience.
– Cookies and browsing history are stored on your device. Like your browser history, cookies are a record of your online activity. This is worth considering if you share your device with others. For users on shared devices, it’s advisable to regularly clear your browser history, cache, and cookies to maintain privacy. You can find instructions on how to do this in your browser’s help section.
– You have the option to disable cookies, but website functionality may be affected. If you are concerned about online privacy, you can disable cookies in your web browser settings. However, doing so might prevent some websites, or parts of websites, from working as intended. For example, features that remember your login details or shopping cart items may not function without cookies.
