More information on cookies

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit nearly any web page. Cookies are useful because they allow the website to remember your last visit when you return to the page. Although many people are unaware of this, cookies have been used for 20 years, since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is NOT a cookie?

A cookie does not open pop-up windows and it is not a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam nor spyware.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank account information, photographs, your ID or personal information, etc. The data stored is technical, personal preferences, customization of content, etc.

The web server recognizes your web browser and not you as a person. In fact, if you regularly browse with Internet Explorer and attempt to visit the same web with Firefox or Chrome, you’ll see that the site does not realize that you are the same person because it identifies the browser, not the person.

What kinds of cookies exist?

Technical cookies: These are the most basic ones, and they make it possible, among other things, to know whether a human or an automated application is browsing, and when it is an anonymous or a registered user. These are basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic web.
Analysis cookies: These collect data on the type of navigation performed, the sections used most frequently, the products viewed, the time zone, the language, etc.
Advertising cookies: These show ads based on your navigation activity, country of origin, language, etc.

What are own cookies and third-party cookies?

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