1. Definition and Function of Cookies
Cookies are small data files that are downloaded to your computer when you visit certain websites. They enable a website to store and retrieve information about a user's browsing habits or device. Depending on the data they contain and how you use your computer, cookies can also be used to recognise you. Cookies play a crucial role in enhancing the browsing experience—without them, using the web would be far more frustrating.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can adjust your internet browser settings to delete them from your hard drive, block them, or notify you before they are installed.
2. Types of Cookies
There are several types of cookies. Depending on the entity that manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the collected data, two types can be distinguished: first-party cookies and third-party cookies. There is also a second classification based on how long they remain stored in the user's browser, which may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Finally, there is another classification with five types of cookies based on the purpose of the collected data: technical cookies, personalisation cookies, analysis cookies, advertising cookies, and behavioural advertising cookies.
