What Are Cookies

An “internet cookie” (also known as “browser cookie”, “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a file of small dimensions, consisting of letters and numbers which will be stored on the user’s computer, mobile device or other equipment from which internet is accessed.

A cookie consists of two parts: name and content (or value). Moreover, the lifetime of a cookie is determined. Technically, only the webserver which sent the cookie may access it again when the user returns to the website associated with such webserver.

The cookies by themselves do not require personal data in order to be used and, in most cases, do not identify internet users.

There are two main categories of cookies. Session cookies are created temporarily in your browser’s subfolder while you are visiting a website. Once you leave the website, the session cookie is deleted. Persistent cookie files remain in your browser’s subfolder and are activated again once you visit the website that created that particular cookie. A persistent cookie remains in the browser’s subfolder for the period set within the cookie’s file.
