What cookies are.
Cookies are small data files that are stored on the user's computer while browsing. They perform various functions like remembering login data for services, collecting statistical information on the pages visited, identifying the browser and device used, selecting content and targeted communications depending on preferences and more.
Cookies can be of various types, depending on the type of data they store and how long they remain stored on the user's device.
Session or temporary cookies expire or are cancelled when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies last longer (from a few minutes to many months) depending on the functions they perform. It is these functions that distinguish cookies in two categories: technical and non-technical (or profiling).
Technical cookies manage the data necessary to serve pages and facilitate navigation, for example making it possible to not re-enter usernames and passwords to access particular services, to remember the last page visited or where to restart a video that was interrupted, to recognise the type of device being used and to adapt the size of the images accordingly. Technical cookies also allow aggregate statistical analysis of the most visited pages and user preferences, but only anonymously and are not used to analyse the behaviour or preferences of individual users.
Profiling cookies, on the other hand, are used to analyse the interests and browsing habits of individual users, making it possible to personalise their browsing and provide content - including advertising - targeted to particular interests.
Cookies can be provided directly by the operator of the website itself (first-party cookies), or, if the website relies on external services for particular functions, by third parties (third-party cookies).
