WHAT IS A “COOKIE”?
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 the computer, mobile device, or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet.
The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware, and cannot access the user’s hard drive). A cookie consists of two parts: the name and its value. Furthermore, the lifespan of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that particular web server.
Cookies in themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
There are two major categories of cookies:
Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder so that it remembers them until the user exits the website or closes the browser window (e.g., when logging in / out of a webmail account or social networks) Persistent cookies – These are stored on a computer or device’s hard drive (and generally depend on the predetermined lifespan of the cookie). Persistent cookies include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as “third-party cookies” – which can be used anonymously to remember a user’s interests, so that the most relevant advertising is delivered to users. What are the advantages of cookies? A cookie contains information that links a web browser (the user) to a specific web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the already stored information and react accordingly. Cookies ensure users a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide comfortable services to users: for example, privacy preferences online, language options, shopping carts, or relevant advertising. What is the lifespan of a cookie?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are not retained once the user leaves the website, and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (‘persistent cookies’). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through their browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain content sections on some websites may be provided through third-party providers (e.g., news box, video, or advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the website, and they are called “third-party cookies” because they are not placed by the respective website owner. Third-party providers must also comply with the law and the privacy policies of the website owner, such as Google Analytics and Right Now.
