What are cookies?

 

Cookies are small files that some platforms, such as websites, may install on your computer, smartphone, tablet or connected television, when you access them. Their functions can be very varied: storing your browsing preferences, collecting statistical information, allowing certain technical functions, storing and retrieving information about the browsing habits or preferences of a user or their computer, and even recognising them, depending on the information they contain and the way you use your computer. A cookie is stored in a computer to personalize and facilitate the user's navigation. Cookies are only associated with your device and do not provide references that allow your personal data to be deduced. You can also set your browser to notify you or refuse the installation of cookies.

 

Why are they important?

 

Cookies are useful for several reasons. From a technical point of view, they allow web pages to work more quickly and to be adapted to your preferences (they can, for example, recognise and select your language or the currency of your country). They also help website managers to improve the services they offer, thanks to the statistical information they collect through them. In other cases, they serve to make the advertising displayed more efficient.
