What are “cookies” and what are they used for?

Cookies are information (small strings of text) entered into the User’s browser when the Site is visited. They perform various important functions within the network (performing computer authentication, monitoring sessions, storing information on specific configurations regarding users who access the server, storing preferences, etc.). Cookies can be first or third party, where “first party” means cookies developed by the Owner of the site itself, while “third party” means cookies developed by Third Parties with respect to the Owner of the site. In the case of third party cookies, the Owner of the site does not have direct control over the individual cookies, and cannot install them directly or delete them. During navigation, the User may also receive cookies from different sites (so-called “third party” cookies) on his terminal, set directly by the managers of said websites and used for the purposes and according to the methods defined by them. There are different types of cookies that contain different information and perform different functions (e.g. performing computer authentication, monitoring sessions, storing preferences for sending targeted advertising messages, etc.). Each cookie, in turn, contains different data (e.g. the name of the server from which it comes, a numeric identifier, etc.). Such data may remain in the User’s device for different periods of time – a browser session, a few hours, several days or for longer periods.
