Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g., logging in), track site usage (e.g., analytics), store your user settings (e.g., time zone, notification preferences), and to personalize your content (e.g., advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are usually referred to as first-party cookies. They typically only track your activity on that particular site.
