WHAT ARE COOKIES?

TYPES OF COOKIES USED
There are session cookies (temporary duration) and persistent cookies (long duration).
The former are used only during the period you browse a particular site, after which they are deleted, and allow you to maintain your navigation on that site without having to log in again, even if you change pages. The latter remain stored on your device even after you finish browsing the site, and aim to allow you to return to that site without the settings you initially defined, such as language, being changed in this new navigation.
