Why Do We Need Cookies?

Q: Do we really need cookies?

A: Well, do you want a cookie to follow you around the internet, begging for crumbs? Cookies are necessary for things like login tracking, shopping cart management, and targeted advertising. But don't worry, we won't make you click on any "Cookies: Accept" or "Cookies: Decline" buttons. That's just too meta.

Types of Cookies

Q: Are all cookies the same?

A: No, no, no, no. There are so many different types of cookies. There are session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser. There are persistent cookies, which stick around forever (or at least until you delete them). And there are cookies for tracking, cookies for advertising, and cookies for analytics. But don't worry, we won't give you a cookie for being confused.
