What is a cookie?
A cookie is a harmless file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain websites. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their device, depending on the information they contain and the way the device is used.
Thus, there are cookies that collect information related to the number of pages visited, the city assigned to the IP address from which access is made, the number of new users, the frequency and repetition of visits, the time spent on the site, the browser, the operator, or the type of terminal used to make the visit.
What is NOT a cookie?
It is not a virus, trojan, worm, spam, spyware, or pop-up window.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or banking details, photographs, your ID number, 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 your browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, the site will not realize you are the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.
