What are cookies?
Cookies are small files, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile phone, or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed. Cookies are installed by request issued by a web server, a browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Chrome).
Cookies are completely “passive” (they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard driver).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or value of the cookie. The duration of a cookie’s existence is determined. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
There are 2 major categories of cookies:
(i) session cookies: they are temporarily stored in the cookies folder of the web browser so that it can store them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window
(ii) persistent cookies: they are stored on the hard drive of a computer or equipment and are activated again when you visit the website that created that specific cookie. Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting. These are known as “third party cookies”, i.e. cookies placed by third parties. They store user’s interests in order to deliver the most relevant advertising for them.
What is the lifetime of a cookie?
The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are for single use only (such as session cookies), therefore they are not maintained once the user leaves the website. Other cookies are maintained and reused each time the user returns to the website (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time by using the browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Some sections of the content of certain websites may be provided through third-party cookies as in the case of an advertisement. Such cookies may be placed on the website and are called cookies placed by third parties because they are not placed by the owner of the website. Such third parties are in turn obliged to comply with the applicable legal regulations and privacy policies of the owner of the website.
Why are cookies important for the internet?
Cookies are the focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling cookies may make some websites impossible to use.
Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behaviour. Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
1. Tailor content and services to user preferences - product and service categories.
2. Offer tailored to the interests of users - password retention.
3. Retain child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
4. Limit the frequency of ad serving - Limit the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a website.
5. Provide more relevant advertising for the user.
6. Measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly from other websites, etc). Websites conduct these analyses of their use to improve the websites for the benefit of users.
