What is a cookie?
A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The purpose of a cookie is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return to that page.

What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID card or personal information, etc. The data they store is technical in nature, personal preferences, content customization, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person but rather with your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person because it is actually associating the visit with the browser, not the person.
What types of cookies exist?
- Technical cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, the website to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user or a registered user is browsing, and other basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.
