What are cookies?
Simply put, a cookie is a small text file stored on the user side (web browser). Cookies are used to record the user's activities on the website or login-related information so that the web server can remember it. When the user returns to the website to browse, the information can be sent back to the website to make the website operation more convenient.

Cookies are most commonly used to store user account, password, personalization settings and other information.

Example 2: After browsing the Apple webpage because I want to change my iPhone, when browsing other unrelated webpages, iPhone floating ads appear on the webpage, which is also related to cookies.
