What is a cookie ?

A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any web page. The usefulness of the cookie is that the website is able to remember your visit when you return to this page. Although many people do not know it, cookies have been used for 20 years, when the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is NOT a cookie?

It is not a virus, trojan, worm, spam or spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store ?

Cookies generally do not store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your identity or personal information, etc. The data they store is of a technical nature, personal preferences, personalization of content, etc.

The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse with Internet Explorer and you try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person because it actually associates the browser and not the person.

What types of cookies exist?

Technical cookies : These are the most basic and allow, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user and a registered user are browsing, basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.
Analysis cookies : They collect information on the type of browsing you do, the sections you use the most, the products consulted, the time slot of use, the language, etc.
Advertising cookies : They serve advertisements based on your navigation, your country of origin, your language, etc.

Own cookies are those generated by the page you are visiting and third- party cookies are those generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
