What is an essential cookie?

An essential cookie, also known as a strictly necessary cookie, is a cookie that is needed for the proper functioning of your website.

These cookies typically do not require user consent to use, as not deploying them might literally cause the website or platform to not function properly.

Essential cookies may also help with enhancing security, storing user preferences, and facilitating communication between the user and the website or platform owner.
