What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded onto your IT device when you access certain websites. Among other things, cookies allow a website to store and recover information relating to a User’s browsing habits and equipment. Depending on the information gathered and the way in which the equipment is used, they may be used to recognise the user’s equipment.

However, cookies only obtain information relating to the number of pages visited, the city to which the IP address being used to access the site is assigned, the number of new Users, the frequency of visits and the number of repeat visits, the time of each visit, the browser or operating system and the kind of terminal used to make each visit. They never collect data on the User’s name or the postal address from which the User has connected to the site.
