The cookie policy
A cookie is a small file, generally made up of letters and numbers, which is downloaded to a computer’s memory (or other equipment used for online browsing – mobile phone, tablet, etc.) when the user accesses a particular website.
Cookies are created when the browser used by a user displays a specific website. The website transmits information to the browser and it creates a text file. Each time the user accesses that web site again, the browser accesses and transmits this file to the website’s server. In other words, the cookie can be seen as an Internet User ID card that announces the website every time the user returns to that site.
Cookies can provide faster and easier interaction between users and websites. For example, when authenticating a user on a particular website, authentication data is stored in a cookie; the user can then access that site without having to authenticate again.
In other cases, cookies can be used to store information about user activities on a particular web page so that they can easily resume their activities when accessing the site. Cookies tell the server what pages the user should show to the user so that they do not have to remember this or navigate the entire site from the beginning. Thus, cookies can be assimilated to “bookmarks” that tell the user exactly where they stay on a website.
Similarly, cookies can store information about the products ordered by the user on an e-commerce site, thus enabling the concept of a “shopping cart”.
Cookies can also provide websites with the ability to monitor users’ online activities and set up user profiles that can then be used for marketing purposes. For example, cookies can identify products and services agreed by a user, this information subsequently serving to transmit appropriate advertising messages to that user.
