What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable a website to "remember" your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How Long Do Cookies Last?

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a longer period, even after you close your browser. The duration can vary greatly, from a few minutes to several years, depending on the purpose of the cookie. They are used to remember your preferences or to track your Browse activity over time. For example, a persistent cookie might remember your login details for a future visit.
The specific expiration time for each cookie used on our website varies and can often be viewed within your browser's cookie settings.
