What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which a web portal leaves on your computer system, tablet or smartphone when you visit it. It allows the portal to “remember” specific inputs and settings (e.g. login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a specific period of time, meaning you do not have to enter or set them whenever you visit or navigate in the portal again.
How do we use cookies?
