1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be:
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies — set directly by ORBIT AI.

We do not use cookies to serve advertising, track your activity across unrelated websites, or build profiles for sale to third parties.
