Cookie policy

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

Cookies are a small amount of data that is transmitted between a sender and a recipient. A cookie is created and interpreted by the sender, while the recipient only keeps it and sends it back if the sender requests it.

When you browse the Internet, the sender is the server that hosts a website and the recipient is the Internet browser (browser) of the user visiting that site. Their purpose is to identify the user, verify his past activity on that site and provide specific content based on this data.

When a user visits a site for the first time, the server stores a certain cookie in its web browser (browser). At all subsequent visits to this first visit, the server will request its cookie to read and upload a certain configuration of the website that is most appropriate for that user. You can see cookies as a tag that the servers apply to each user, then read them to identify users.

This identification is especially useful on websites where real-time user data is critical. For example, when using an online store, you could not buy anything without the help of cookies. Stores could not identify you and assign you a shopping cart without them because every time you load a new page, the store will look at you as a new user and create a new cart.

As such, cookies are widely used on the Internet because they allow websites to be more powerful, providing dynamic and useful content for each user. In some cases, websites cannot work without the use of cookies. They also allow websites to gather data about their users and the pages they visit. But like any other technology, they can be used for less ethical purposes. That’s why everyone on the Internet knows how it works and how it can be used.
