- What are cookies?
A cookie is a file that is downloaded onto the user’s device when accessing certain contents through websites, online means and/or apps. Cookies enable an application or website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about the user’s browsing habits or his/her computer’s browsing habits and, depending on the information they contain and the way in which they use their computers, they can be used to recognise the user. For example, if users have to sign up to use a service, a cookie will remind them that they have already signed up, meaning they will not have to enter their username and password on every page they visit or in the app each time they open it. Cookies can also measure how many people are visiting the website and how they are using them. In such case, this information can help to improve the overall user experience.
- What types of cookies do we use and how long do they last?
First party and Third-party cookies
