What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your browser when you visit a website. Thanks to cookies, the site can remember your visit and certain actions or preferences, such as the selected language or part of the displayed content, when you return to that page.
What information can a cookie store?
In general, cookies do not store sensitive data, such as full bank card numbers or login credentials. They usually store technical information, user preferences, personalisation settings, aggregated statistical data, or similar information related to the use of the site.
In general, the web server associates cookies with your browser, not directly with an identified person. Therefore, if you access the same site from different browsers or devices, the site may recognise each of them separately.
What types of cookies are there?
- Technical cookies: allow the basic operation of the website and its essential functions, such as maintaining the session, remembering certain preferences, or ensuring the proper functioning of forms and processes.
- Analytical cookies: collect information about how the site is used, such as the most visited sections, time spent on the site, or general interaction, in order to improve performance and user experience.
- Personalisation cookies: allow certain preferences, such as language or some display options, to be remembered in order to provide a more tailored experience for the user.
- Advertising cookies: may be used to help display promotional content or more relevant advertisements, depending on the site configuration and the active third-party services.
What are first-party and third-party cookies?
First-party cookies are generated by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers, for example analytics tools, embedded content services, or advertising platforms.
