Cookies play an important role in facilitating the access and delivery of multiple services the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:

Customize certain settings such as: the language in which a site is viewed, accessing old preferences by clicking the ‘forward’ and ‘backward’ buttons.

What is a cookie?

A “Cookie Internet” (also known as “cookie browser ” or ” HTTP cookie ” or simply ” cookie “) is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, other equipment of a user accessing the Internet.

The cookie is installed through a web browser request from a browser ( eg Internet Explorer, Chrome ) and is completely ” passive ” ( does not contain software, viruses or spyware, and can not access the information on the hard drive user ).

A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or the cookie value. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.

There are 2 large categories of cookies:

Session cookies – they are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder so that they store them until the user exits the site or closes the browser window (for example, when logging in / out of an account webmail or social networking).
Persistent cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depends on the default cookie lifetime). Persistent cookies also include those placed on a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as ‘ third party cookies ‘ – which can be used anonymously to store the interests of a user so that advertising is delivered as relevant to users as possible.

What are the benefits of cookies?

A cookie contains information that links a web browser (user) and a specific web-server (website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the already stored information and respond accordingly. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide user-friendly services : ex – online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping carts, or relevant advertising.

What is the lifetime of a cookie?

Cookies are managed by web servers. The life of a cookie may vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used only for one session ( session cookies ) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that site ( cookie- permanent ).However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through browser settings.

What are cookies placed by third parties?

Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided through third parties / vendors (eg news box, video or advertisement ). These third parties may also place cookies through the site and they are called ” third party cookies ” because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third-party vendors must also comply with the applicable law and privacy policies of the site owner.
