I don't know anything about cookies, but I recommend that you do what you want forever ♡

I hope you get some sleep soon.

from my understanding, cookies are basically tiny bits of information stored on a users browser. for example, the theme changer. your page will send my browser a key value pair, in this case which theme I pick on your page, which I can chose to either accept or deny. if I chose to accept, any time I visit your page, my browser will automatically recognize the settings or themes I set related to your page.

there are many kinds of cookies, like session management, personalization, and the most common kind of cookies we come across, which is tracking. tracking cookies are the ones people have the most issue with because it's a way for companies to store seemingly useless information on you to later sell to other companies to then show you hyper personalized ads, amongst other things.

in your case, I would have nothing to worry about. the cookies you are using are just personalization. the only information you are collecting are things like which theme people prefer, that way they don't have to constantly change it to their preference each and every time they visit your page. you can learn more about it in the HTTP Cookies Wikipedia page, under the Uses section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_
