WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The purpose of the cookie is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return to browse that page. Although many people may not know it, cookies have been in use for 20 years, since the first web browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
WHAT IS NOT A COOKIE?
It is not a virus, Trojan, worm, spam, spyware, or pop-up window opener.
WHAT INFORMATION DOES A COOKIE STORE?
Cookies typically do not store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank data, photos, your ID, or personal information, etc. The data they store is of a technical nature, personal preferences, content personalization, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person but with your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not recognize you as the same person because it associates with the browser, not the individual.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES EXIST?
Technical Cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, knowing whether a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user or a registered one is browsing, which are basic tasks for the functioning of any dynamic website.
Analytical Cookies: They collect information about the type of browsing you are performing, the sections you use most, products consulted, usage time frame, language, etc.
Advertising Cookies: They display advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.
WHAT ARE FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES?
First-party cookies are generated by the page you are visiting, while third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
