What is a Cookie?
Cookies are simple text files stored on a computer or a mobile device from a website's server. This server will then be able to recover or read the contents of the cookie. Cookies are managed by the internet browser. Every cookie is unique and contains anonymous information such as a unique identifier, name of the website, numbers or letters. It allows a website to remember the user's browsing favorites. Cookies can only identify the computer; they cannot personally identify the user. Depending on their purpose, cookies can be divided into four categories: session cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies and marketing cookies.
Session cookies: are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, some services cannot be provided – for example, remembering previous actions (e.g. entered text) when navigating back to a page in the same session.
Performance cookies: gather information about how a website is used – for example, which pages a visitor opens most often, and whether the user receives error messages from some pages. These cookies do not save information that would allow the user to be identified. The collected information is aggregated, and therefore anonymous. These cookies are used exclusively to improve the performance of the website, and with it the user experience.
Technical cookies: enable a website to save information which has already been entered (such as user names, languages choices, and your location), so that it can offer you improved and more personalised functions. Functional cookies are also used to enable features you request such as playing videos. These cookies collect anonymous information and cannot track your movements on other websites.
Marketing cookies: are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember whether you have visited a website or not, and this information can be shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Cookies for improving group targeting and advertising will often be linked to site functionality provided by other organisations.
