What we mean by “cookies” here
We use the term to cover HTTP cookies, local storage entries, and session storage that behave in a similar way, plus small scripts that read or write that data. Some tools that marketing teams call “tags” or “pixels” can still respect the same opt-in model when they place identifiers on your device. We do not use cookies to take decisions about you that the law classifies as “solely automated” with significant legal effect.
