Literally, from English, an HTTP cookie is a packet of information sent from a web server to an Internet browser and then returned by the browser each time it accesses that server.
Most of the sites you visit use cookies.
Cookies can have different roles. They are used to remember the preferences of users and the status of a functionality, service or feature on the site. For example, selected language, navigation menu status, background color, design theme, agreeing to the use of cookies, products added to the cart and more.
They allow you to browse efficiently between pages and generally improve the use of a website, as they facilitate your interaction with it.
If a site does not use cookies, it will think that you are a new visitor every time you visit a new page and I will not remember your navigation preferences.
If you block cookies, some parts of the site may not load at all.
Some sites use cookies to be able to send targeted advertising or marketing messages based on your location and/or your internet navigation habits, for example.
They allow the site to “remember” you during your visit (thanks to a “session cookie”) or in case of multiple visits (thanks to a “permanent cookie”).
Session cookies
When a visitor identifies himself on the site, for example by a username and password, then he can receive a session (temporary) cookie. It will serve as a temporary pass for the visitor and at each subsequent request will certify in front of the site the identification already made. In this way, the site does not have to request user access data on each subsequent page.
Session cookies are used to record information that is needed only until the end of the session, until the web browser is closed or until the user “logs out” of his account.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies remain in the browser even after it is closed. Persistent cookies are most often used by website analytics and statistics services or by web advertising services and companies. Therefore, persistent cookies are also called tracking cookies. An example of persistent cookies are those used by Google Analytics’ service.
Blocking cookies
You may block some or all of the cookies or even remove cookies that are already placed on your device, but you should be aware that you may lose some functionality.
To do this, you need to change the privacy settings of your browser. Some third-party operators have developed tools to deactivate the collection and use of data from their modules.
First party cookies
Cookies can be created from the site you visit – your own cookies (First party cookies), or from other sites – third parties that provide content to the page you are viewing (Third party cookies).
Third party cookies
They own some of the content, such as ads or images, that you see on the website you visit.
For example, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube may set cookies for sharing content on social networks or for statistical purposes.
The availability, number and status of such cookies may depend on your use of the platforms in question, before or during a visit to our site.
