What are cookies?

We use the term “cookie” to refer to text modules and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically. An “Internet Cookie” (also known as “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment through which the internet is accessed.

Cookies are installed by the request issued by a webserver to a browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined duration of existence, remaining “passive”, in the sense that they do not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they were installed.

A cookie is made up of two parts: the name of the cookie and the content or value of the cookie. From a technical point of view, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
