What Are Cookies? (The Tech Kind)
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you—like your preferences, login status, or what you put in your shopping cart.
They're not programs, they can't carry viruses, and they can't access other data on your computer. They're literally just tiny text files with information like "user_preference=dark_mode" or "session_id=abc123".
