What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by online service providers to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies can also be placed by third parties, such as advertisers, to deliver personalized content or manage ad campaigns. These third-party cookies are distinct from those placed directly by The American Review.

Several categories of cookies serve different functions on our website. Each type is described below with its primary purpose.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are critical for the basic operation of the website. Without them, certain services and features, such as secure login or remembering form inputs, would not function correctly.
