2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, setting your privacy preferences, or choosing your preferred theme or language. GetBooks does not load any external resources (such as Google Fonts) that would set additional third-party cookies.
