What are cookies and what are they for
Cookies are files or pieces of information that may be stored on your computer (or other internet enabled devices, such as a smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time. Cookies are classified:
- According to the domain to which they belong, there are either first-party cookies which are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain; and third-party cookies stored by a different domain to the visited page's domain. This can happen when the webpage references a file located outside its domain.
- According to the purpose: some cookies (“technical cookies”) allow the website to remember the choices that the user made (such as user name or password to access personal area); other cookies (“profiling cookies”) are used to deliver content (advertising, services) that is more relevant to you and your interests. For use of the profiling cookies, the consent of the person involved is required.

Most browser applications automatically accept cookies but you can set it to receive an alert each time an operator tries to send you cookies/pixel tags, and/or prevent it from accepting them. On most browsers, the “Help” portion of the toolbar will tell you how to prevent it from accepting cookies, how to change your tracking settings, how to have it notify you when you receive cookies/pixel tags, or how to disable cookies/pixel tags altogether.
Below are pages describing these settings in more detail for each browser:
If you use multiple browsers (e.g., Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) you must repeat this procedure with each one, and if you connect to the web from multiple devices (e.g., from work and at home), then you will need to set your preferences on each browser on each device.
