What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user’s computer when they visit a website.
There is a distinction between permanent and temporary cookies, and between direct and indirect cookies.
• Cookies are permanent when they remain on the user’s computer even after the browser is closed. Temporary cookies disappear as soon as the user closes the browser.
• Direct cookies are sent by the site itself; indirect cookies come from third parties.

Some of these cookies store functional preferences like the user’s choice of language. Others are used to analyse information like the number of visits to a website. Lastly, some cookies are used for marketing purposes.
