Cookies

Cookies are like tiny reminder notes that a website sticks on your device through your browser. They help the site remember things about you, like what you clicked on, your login info, and your preferences, so you get a more personalized experience. The next time you visit, your browser hands those notes back to the site, and it’s like, “Oh hey, I remember you!”

Imagine visiting a shopping website, and it uses a cookie to remember what’s in your cart—so you don’t have to add those comfy slippers all over again. Cookies make things easier and more personal, like a friendly waiter who remembers your usual order. But, just like someone knowing too much about your favorite dessert, cookies can raise privacy concerns, which is why there are rules to keep them in check.
