A cookie is a small data packet (text file) that your browser stores on your device when instructed to do so by a website you visit, in order to “remember” information about you, such as your language settings or login information. These cookies are set by us and are called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies, which come from a different domain than the website you are visiting.
