A cookie policy is a website's written description of its use of cookies, which are small text files that help websites remember visitors' actions and preferences. For example, a cookie may help a website remember your user ID and the items in your shopping cart as you browse a site.
A cookie policy is often included in the site's terms of service or privacy policy. Some countries have laws that require sites to have a cookie policy (or to notify users before setting a cookie) to give people more control over their data and its use.
When you visit a website, it may store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies. This information might be about you, your preferences, your device (computer or mobile), or your internet connection. The information does not usually identify you directly, but it can give you a more personalized web experience.
