1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are compact text files stored on your device by your web browser when visiting websites. Local storage provides a similar browser-based key-value store with no transmission overhead on network requests. Happyrostersortt uses these technologies exclusively to ensure cybersecurity, maintain navigation integrity, and store your explicit privacy preferences.
