What is a cookie?

A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The usefulness of the cookie is that the website is able to remember your visit when you return to browse that page. Although many people do not know it, cookies have been used for 20 years since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is NOT a cookie?

It is not a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam, spyware, or pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank data, photographs, your ID number or personal information, etc. The data they store is technical in nature, personal preferences, content personalization, etc.

The web server does not associate you with a person but with your web browser. In fact, if you regularly browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize that you are the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies exist?

  • Technical cookies: These are the most basic and allow, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user and a registered one are browsing, basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.
  • Analysis cookies: They collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use the most, consulted products, time of use, language, etc.
  • Advertising cookies: They display advertising based on your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.

What are first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are generated by the page you are visiting, and third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
