A cookie is a piece of data from a website that is stored in a web browser and can be retrieved by the website at a later time. They are usually small files, often including unique identifiers, that web servers send to browsers, and vice-versa, the browser sends them to the server too, that’s why they’re problematic in some cases. These cookies have a name, content, purpose and expiration time.
Currently, Live Layer requires a cookie to function, and will fail if it is blocked in any way, so it is important to accept it, as it will provide you with a better user experience on the website.
