What are cookies?
The term “cookies” refers to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically. An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or “cookie”) is a small file made up of letters and numbers, which will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal or other equipment through which the internet is accessed. Cookies are installed by the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g.: Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera).
Once installed, cookies have a fixed lifespan, remaining “passive”, meaning that they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose device they were installed. A cookie consists of two parts: the name of the cookie and the content or value of the cookie. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
