About cookies
- What is a cookie?
The term "cookie" refers to a small data file consisting exclusively of a string of information in text format, which the website transfers to the web browser located on your computer's hard drive, either temporarily for the duration of your visit, or sometimes for longer periods, depending on the type of cookie.
Cookies perform various functions (for example, they distinguish you from other visitors to the same website or remember certain things about you, such as your preferences) and are used by most websites to improve your experience as a user.
Each cookie is unique to your browser and contains certain anonymous information. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain from which the cookie originated, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value (usually in the form of a randomly generated unique number).
- Types of cookies
The main types of cookies that websites may use are described below.
Session cookies
These are temporary cookies that remain in your device's browser cookie file only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close the browser.
Persistent cookies
These remain in your device's browser cookie file even after the browser is closed, sometimes for a year or more (the exact length of time depends on the lifespan of each cookie).
Persistent cookies are used when the website administrator may need to know who you are across more than one visit (e.g. to remember your username or your preferences for website customization).
