They enable the maintenance of active sessions, ensure that visual elements load correctly, and allow key features—such as adding items to the shopping cart, logging into an account, or completing a purchase—to function smoothly. Without general cookies, many essential components of the website would not operate as intended, directly affecting the quality and reliability of the services we provide.
