What are cookies and why do websites use them?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and improve your browsing experience. However, some cookies can track your behavior across multiple sites for advertising purposes.

How can I manage my cookie preferences?

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to accept, reject, or delete cookies. Many websites also provide cookie preference centers where you can customize which types of cookies you allow.

Is it safe to delete all cookies?

While deleting cookies enhances privacy, it may affect your browsing experience. You might need to log in again to websites or lose saved preferences. A balanced approach is to keep essential cookies while blocking third-party tracking cookies.

What is the difference between first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are set by the website you're visiting and are generally safe. Third-party cookies are set by external services (like advertisers) and often track you across multiple websites. Third-party cookies are more of a privacy concern.
