1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to supply information to the website owners.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, or login status. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually (persistent cookies).
In addition to traditional cookies, CryptoCalcs also uses browser local storage to remember certain preferences, such as your cookie consent choice. Local storage works similarly to cookies but is stored differently in your browser and does not have an automatic expiration date.
