1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember information about your visit, like your preferences and login status.
Think of cookies like:
- A parking stub that remembers where you parked
- A bookmark that saves your place in a book
- A name tag that helps the website recognize you
Cookies are completely normal and safe - almost every website uses them. They can't access your files, install software, or harm your device in any way.
