What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to remember between visits. We also use localStorage and sessionStorage for the same purpose. For simplicity, all of these are referred to as “cookies” below.
We use cookies in three categories: required for the service to function, preferences that improve the dashboard experience, and analytics that help us understand which features get used.
