1. 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" (commonly 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 computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user through which the internet is accessed.

Cookies are installed by a web server's request to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan, remaining "passive," meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the user's hard drive on whose equipment they were installed.

A cookie consists of two parts:

• The cookie's name; and

• The cookie's content or value.

From a technical perspective, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the internet page associated with that web server.

• Persistent or fixed cookies – A "persistent" or "fixed" cookie is a cookie that remains stored on the user's terminal until it reaches a certain expiration date (which may be in a few minutes, days, or several years in the future) or until it is deleted by the user at any time through the browser's settings.
