A cookie is a file stored in the user’s browser. Cookie-based technologies enable users to avoid repeatedly entering usernames and passwords. A cookie contains an anonymous identifier used to personalize and monitor the service’s usage. In applications, a device-specific mobile identifier is used similarly to cookies.
Cookies may remain on a user’s device until deleted. Some cookies expire when the session ends.
Cookie types based on their purpose:
- Functional cookies enable login, shopping cart operations, and real-time traffic monitoring. These mandatory cookies ensure the site operates as intended and help identify and correct errors.
- Analytics and product development cookies enhance the user experience by tracking metrics like page visits, speed, and usage frequency.
- Advertising cookies allow targeted advertising and reporting on ad performance, such as impressions and clicks. They may also enable third-party targeting, such as by advertisers or ad networks.

Cookie settings are browser-specific, so they must be adjusted in each browser used.

However, this may hinder the proper functioning of the site and applications. Users can modify their cookie settings at any time.
