WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you visit a particular website. Cookies allow the website to store and recover information about the browsing habits of a user or his/her system and, depending on the information they contain and the manner in which the system is used, they may be used to identify the user.
However, cookies only gather information relating to the number of sites visited, the city of the IP address from which the site is accessed, the number of new users, the frequency and repetition of visits, the duration of visits and the browser or operator or terminal type through which the site is being visited. Under no circumstances do cookies reveal the forename, surname, address or other similar data about the user.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?
There are either first-party or third-party cookies. First-party cookies are sent to the user’s system from a system or domain managed by the editor of the website that provides the service requested by the user. Third-party cookies are sent to the user’s system from a system or domain that is managed not by the editor, but by another entity that processes the data obtained via the cookies.
Cookies also take the form of session or persistent cookies. Whereas the former are designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website, persistent cookies keep data stored in the terminal so that they can be accessed and processed over a specified period by the cookie manager, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
