What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" (set by the site you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).

This Cookie Policy explains how ecomfraudguide.com uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
