Cookie Policy

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 more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

These tiny files allow websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, 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.

The cookies should be cartoon-style with friendly faces. Use a light blue background with subtle network connection lines. Style should be modern flat design with clean lines.

Cookie FAQ

No, not all cookies track personal information. Essential cookies typically don't collect personal data, while performance cookies collect anonymous data. Only targeting cookies might collect information that could be linked to your personal identity.

This depends on your privacy preferences. Clearing cookies monthly is a good practice for privacy-conscious users. However, doing so will log you out of websites and remove preferences. You might consider keeping cookies for sites you trust while clearing others more frequently.

Cookies themselves are not dangerous - they are simple text files that cannot execute code or contain viruses. However, they can be used to track your browsing activity across sites, which some users consider a privacy concern. Always review cookie policies and adjust your settings according to your comfort level.
