1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

What is a “cookie”?

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that is stored on the user’s computer, mobile terminal or other equipment used to access the Internet.

The cookie is installed through a webserver request from a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and it is completely “passive” (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive).

A cookie consists of 2 parts: name and content or cookie value.

The duration of a cookie is determined; from a technical point of view, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated to that webserver.

The cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify the Internet users.
