What is a Cookie?
A “Browser Cookie” (also refered to as “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie” ) is a small sized file, formed of numbers and letters, that is stored on a computer, mobile terminal or other device of a user that connects to the internet. Cookie is installed by a request made by a web-server to a browser (ie Internet Edge, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) and is completely “passive” (does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and can not access the users hard drive).
There are 2 large cookie types:
• Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the cookie folder of the browser, and are memorised until the user exits the website or closes the browser windows
(ie: at the moment of log in/log out from a webmail account or from a social network).
• Persistent Cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer of device (and depend on the set amount of time determined in the cookie). Persistent Cookies include cookies from third parties, and they generally come from websites that are not visited by the user. They can be used to remember the preferences of a user, therefore being able to feed more relevant ads to the user.
