What are cookies?
A cookie is a file that stores website settings. Websites save cookies to the devices of users who access the internet to identify individual devices and settings used by the users during access. Cookies allow websites to recognize if a user has visited the site before and, in advanced applications, they can adjust certain settings accordingly. Their storage is entirely under the control of the user's browser, which can restrict or disable cookie storage as desired.
Why are cookies necessary?
Cookies are essential for providing user-friendly online services; the most common e-commerce features would not be possible without cookies. Interaction between the web user and the website is faster and easier with cookies. They help websites remember individual preferences and experiences, making browsing more efficient and enjoyable.

They store information about the state of individual web pages (details about page customizations), assist in delivering online services (e.g., online shopping), aid in collecting statistics about users and website visits, and track online user habits, among other things. With the help of cookies, we can evaluate the effectiveness of our website design.
