What is a cookie?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded onto your computer when you visit certain websites. Among other things, cookies allow a website to store and recall information about the browsing habits of the users of the site, their devices and, depending on the information stored by the cookie and how it is used on the device, they may also be used to recognise users.

However, they only obtain information about the number of pages visited, the city to which the user’s IP address is assigned, the number of new users, the frequency and recurrence of visits, visit duration, the browser or the operator or type of terminal from which the visit is made. They never obtain the name, surname, postal address or any similar details about users of the site.

What are the different types of cookies?

Cookies can be proprietary or third-party. Proprietary cookies are sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain managed by the editor of the website providing the service requested by the user. Third-party cookies are sent to the user’s terminal from a device or domain that is not managed by the editor, but by a third party who processes the data obtained by the cookies.

Cookies can also be transient or permanent. Transient or session cookies are designed to collect and store data only while the user is browsing the website. With permanent or persistent cookies, data is stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a definite period by the party responsible for the cookie, ranging from minutes to years.
