What are Cookies?
The most basic definition is that they are little files that are placed in your device when you access a website. You have probably seen notifications from websites that they use cookies, along with the option not to agree to that usage.
These little files track your behavior on the site – the pages you access, how long you stay on those pages, etc. But the most important use of cookies is so that a site can “remember” you when you come back and direct you to that content and pages that you last visited. We use cookies for this purpose.

The idea is to give you a better user experience each time you return.
