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