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, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment through which the Internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed by a web server’s request to a browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a defined lifetime, remaining “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware, and will not access information on the user’s hard drive on whose equipment they were installed.
A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie’s name and its content or value.
From a technical point of view, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that server.

- Persistent or fixed cookies – A “persistent” or “fixed” cookie is a cookie that remains stored on the user’s terminal until it reaches a certain expiration date (which can be minutes, days, or several years in the future) or until it is deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.
