2. What are cookies?
We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.
An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie”) is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that is stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the Internet.
Cookies are installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan and remain “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and do not access information on the user’s hard drive.
A cookie consists of two parts:
– the name of the cookie; and
– the content or value of the cookie.
Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the web page associated with that server.
