1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that contain certain information and that are stored on your computer either permanently or temporarily. None of the information these cookies store can identify you personally. All they do is recognize your computer as it moves between different websites on the web and help web servers identify you and remember things about you.

About 95% of websites on the web today use cookies, and they can’t harm your system in any way.

2. What kind of information do cookies collect?

Most cookies simply tell web servers whether you have already been on the site or not so they can offer you a more convenient browsing experience next time.

For example, if a website is available in multiple languages, cookies will remember which language you preferred and will display that website in that particular language the next time you visit. Or if you’re shopping on an online retail site, cookies save the items in your shopping cart so that you can return to them later.

Cookies are also used to analyze website traffic and for marketing and advertising purposes.

3. What types of cookies are there?

* There are two different types of cookies:

Persistent cookies, which are stored in your computer as a file and stay there even after you close the website. These types of cookies use the recorded information to analyze your behavior or offer you personalized content when you visit that website next time.
Session cookies, which are only stored on your computer during the time you browse a website. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close the website. Session cookies don’t usually collect any personal data from your computer.

* Cookies can also be categorized as:

Performance cookies, which allow us to analyze and improve the performance of our website. For example, performance cookies help us understand how people reach our website and which pages they visit most often. Performance cookies collect data that can be used for marketing and advertising purposes.
Functionality cookies, which allow websites to remember your choices and offer enhanced features. For example, display a website in a foreign language. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymized.
Strictly necessary cookies, which are essential for you to move around a website and use its features. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing purposes.

* Third-party cookies

Third-party sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube, etc. may also place cookies on your browser through embedded content such as videos, photos, or other types of content originally posted on these social media sites. These third parties may place cookies to collect information about you and serve content or advertisements. This type of data collection is subject to Privacy Policies of these third party advertisers.
