What Are Cookies Used For?
Cookies are most commonly used to enable websites to function or to function more effectively, as well as to provide information to website owners.

By analyzing this data, websites can be tailored to meet user needs and offer a more diverse user experience. Additionally, cookies are used to ensure that displayed data meets user expectations during every subsequent visit (without requiring manual selection).
