What is a cookie?
A cookie is an inoffensive text file that is stored on your browser when you visit almost any web page. The utility of a cookie is that a web page is able to remember your visit when you browse that same page again. Although many people don’t know it, cookies have been in use for 20 years, when the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
And a cookie is NOT…?
A cookie is not a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam or spyware, and it does not open pop-up windows.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card numbers, bank information, photographs, your National Identity Document number, personal information, etc. The stored data are technical in nature and refer to personal preferences, content personalisation, etc.
The web server does not associate it with you as a person, but rather with your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse using Internet Explorer and then try to browse the same web page using Firefox or Chrome, you’ll see that the web page does not realise that you are the same person, because the association is actually with the browser, not the person.
What types of cookies exist?
