2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
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 a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet.
Cookies are installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan and remain “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware, and they will not access the information on the user’s hard drive on whose equipment they were installed.
A cookie consists of two parts:
– The name and
– The content or value of the cookie.
From a technical point of view, 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.
There are the following categories of cookies:
– Session Cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
– Persistent Cookies – A “persistent cookie” is a cookie that remains stored on the user’s terminal until it reaches a certain expiration date (which can be a few minutes, days, or even years in the future).
3. WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF COOKIES?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (i.e., session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user leaves the website. Some cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website (i.e., persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.
