What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies contain a name and value, along with metadata such as the domain they belong to, an expiry date, and flags that control how they behave. When you visit a site again, your browser sends the stored cookies back to the server, allowing the site to recognise you and recall your preferences.
📌 Cookies themselves are not harmful — they are plain text files and cannot run code or carry viruses. Their privacy implications relate to the data they store and who has access to it.
Types by Duration
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. Used for things like keeping you logged in during a browsing session.
- Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (days, months, or years). Used to remember your preferences across visits.
Types by Origin
- First-party cookies: Set by dreabee.com directly. We control these entirely.
- Third-party cookies: Set by external services we use (e.g., analytics tools). These are governed by the third party's own privacy policies.
