What are cookies?
We use the term 'cookie' to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically. An 'Internet Cookie' is a small file consisting of letters and numbers, stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment.
Cookies are installed at the request of a web server to a browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox). Once installed, they remain 'passive': they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and do not access information on the hard drive.
A cookie consists of two parts:
- the cookie name;
- the cookie content or value.
From a technical perspective, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to the page associated with that server.
For what purposes are cookies used
