2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on the hard drive of the device you use to visit a Web site. Cookies are generally used to make websites work, to make site navigation easier and more user-friendly, and to ensure that systems work correctly. For example, cookies can allow a Web site to recognize your browser in order to speed up and customize the use of the Web site when you revisit that site. Without cookies, you would have to log in every time on every page because the current web protocol is stateless. They may also remember your personal settings and preferences (e.g., home pages, dashboards …). For example, if you revisit a website, you don’t have to select the language again. Some cookies may be set by a third party, for example Google Analytics, to help analyze the use of the website (third-party cookies). Cookies contain a random session identification number that we use to recognize you when you open a new web page. Even if the website is visited alone, information about the use of the website is collected through cookies. There are different types of cookies that can be distinguished based on their
