This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle your personal data.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services ("third-party cookies").
We use cookies on fragempire.info for the following purposes:
