1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit websites. They help websites remember your actions and preferences over time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you return or browse between pages.

Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We currently do not respond to DNT signals, but you can manage your privacy preferences through the cookie controls described above.
