1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember certain preferences or actions. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services integrated into the site.
This policy explains what cookies are used on restora.info, why they are used, how long they persist, and how you can manage your preferences.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified before a cookie is placed.
