Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Computer cookies are small files used by web servers to save browsing information, allowing websites to remember your device, browser preferences, and associated online activity. Cookies are often very helpful, because they spare you from having to log into your accounts every time you return to the same website.

But cookies can also be invasive, as they help companies and advertisers build a profile of your browsing habits, interests, and purchases, which they can use to target you with ads. Depending on permissions, that information can also be shared with third parties.

What are cookies used for?

Computer cookies are intended to help a website keep track of your visits and activity. This lets them remember you and your preferences so they can personalize your experience. For example, cookies can help you sign into Facebook faster, and they are what let you save items in your shopping cart for later when shopping online.

Cookies are also used to personalize ads, too. This has pros and cons—while some find it intrusive to see ads targeted to their interests, citing privacy issues, others find it more helpful than seeing irrelevant ads at every turn.
