Understanding how we use cookies to enhance your browsing experience
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Plateau-sequoia) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies."

You can clear local storage through your browser settings, typically in the same location as cookie settings.
