2. What are cookies?

We use the term “cookies” to refer 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 simply “cookie”) is a small file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on the computer, mobile device or other equipment of a user through which the internet is accessed.
Cookies are set by a web server’s request to a browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a limited lifespan, remain “passive” in the sense that they do not contain software programs, 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 cookie name and its content or value.
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.
