- Cookies are little data files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They let us collect some of the data that we automatically gather. Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience. Our sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them).
