What are Cookies?

‍

Cookies are small pieces of information in the form of a tiny text file that is placed on the device of a website or app user. Cookies make using a website or app faster and easier by storing data in the background, for example adding items to a shopping cart or remembering login details for future visits. Cookies can also be used to monitor how a website is used for example, what pages are visited, where the visitors came from, what they have clicked on etc.

They are two different types of cookies. Session based cookies and Persistent cookies. Session based cookies only last for the time your browser is open and automatically deleted when your browser is closed. Persistent cookies last until they are deleted or they expire.
