What is a "cookie"?
A "Cookie" (also known as "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie") is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on a user's computer, mobile or other equipment on that accesses the Internet. The cookie is installed through the request issued by a web server to a browser (eg: Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the hard drive the user). Cookies are widely used by website owners and service providers or their partners to make their websites work, work more efficiently and provide analytical information. A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Moreover, the duration of existence 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 web server. Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
