They are widely used to make websites function properly, work more efficiently, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be “session cookies” (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and device fingerprinting may also be used for comparable purposes.
