Cookies are tiny text files that websites save on your device when you visit them. Think of them like digital sticky notes that help websites remember you.

What information do cookies collect?

Most cookies don't contain personal information about you. They mainly collect technical information like your device's IP address, what browser you're using and which pages you visit.

I only collect personal information when you choose to give it to me (like filling out a form).
