What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how the site is being used. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting („first-party cookies“) or by third parties such as analytics services or advertising networks („third-party cookies“).

Cookies can be temporary (session cookies) or permanent (persistent cookies). Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
