"Cookies are small files that web pages save to your device. They contain info meant to enhance the user experience, especially for frequently visited websites. This can include remembering your login information and preferred news categories or text size. Or they can help shopping sites suggest items based on your browsing history.

"There are many types, but one way to categorise cookies is based on how long they stick around. Session cookies are only created temporarily - to track items in your shopping cart, for example. Once a browser session is inactive for a period of time or closed, these cookies are automatically deleted. Persistent cookies are stored for longer periods and can identify you - saving your login details so you can quickly access your email, for example."
Cookies are small files that web pages save to devices to enhance user experience and remember preferences. They can store login details, preferred news categories, text size, and shopping cart contents, and they allow shopping sites to suggest items based on browsing history. Advertisers can use cookies to track browsing behaviour and deliver targeted ads. Session cookies are temporary and deleted when a browser session ends, while persistent cookies remain for days to years and can identify users. Websites classify essential cookies as necessary for functionality and do not allow opting out. Choosing to accept or reject non-essential cookies affects convenience and online privacy.
