They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
They are not programs and cannot be executed as code. They also cannot be used to access your hard drive or steal personal information. Instead, they act as a kind of memory for the website, helping it to recognize you on subsequent visits and provide a more personalized and smoother experience.
