3. WHAT IS A COOKIE ?
A Cookie is a small set of text files (consisting of letters and numbers) that is downloaded to the Buyer's Device Browser when visiting websites. Cookies allow the Website to recognize the Buyer's Device when they visit again and are used to collect statistics and save certain user settings (such as the selected language for displaying content).

4. HOW COOKIES WORK :
Technically speaking, cookies are small pieces of data that a web server initially sends to the Browser. The data is stored in the Browser, and each time the Website is visited, the Browser sends it back to the server.

Without Cookies, each page view is treated as an isolated event, unrelated to visits to other pages on the same site. With Cookies, however, it is possible to identify the connection between visits to different pages and analyze a specific visitor’s actions as a single *Session* (a sequential series of requests over a specific period of time).

Cookies are associated with a specific web domain (i.e., all pages of a single website). These files are automatically sent during subsequent interactions with the same domain, and only the entity that set the Cookies can read or modify the information they contain. Cookies are stored only by the websites you visit. Websites can only access the Cookies they have stored on your Device.
