2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance your user experience, and provide information to website owners and operators.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by other organizations whose content appears on that page, such as advertising networks or analytics providers (known as "third-party cookies").
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit chuys-new.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie in a specific folder on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser retrieves the cookie and sends it back to our server.
