1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be persistent (remaining on your device until you delete them or they expire) or session-based (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be first-party (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party (set by a domain other than the website you are visiting).

Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals. WebsToolKit does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals but will update this policy if this changes.
