JamieDo you enjoy websites that remember your login details or the items you like? Turning on cookies makes that possible.
How can I do it? We’ll show you the easy steps.
What Cookies Do
Cookies are tiny files your browser makes when you visit a site. They save things like your language choice or login info so the website knows it’s you next time.
Cookies can improve browsing by keeping your cart full, filling out forms fast, or setting up pages how you like them.
Privacy and Cookies
Cookies are handy, but they have a catch. If privacy matters to you, know that cookies track what you do online.
They might share stuff like your email with other companies, who then send you ads—often for things you just looked at.
You can switch cookies off whenever you want. Or, keep them on and clear them out sometimes. Look up our tips on removing cookies from your Android.
