What are cookies and what are they for?

Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send directly to his terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit by the same user (so-called first-party cookies). While browsing a site, the user can also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on their terminal (so-called third-party cookies); this happens because on the website visited there may be elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.

Cookies may have a limited duration of a single browsing session on the browser (so-called session cookies), and in this case they are automatically deactivated when the user closes the browser; or they may have a predetermined expiry date and, in this case, they will remain stored and active on your hard disk until that expiry date, continuing to collect information during different browsing sessions on the browser (so-called permanent cookies).

Finally, others are used to trace your consumer profile and display advertisements on the Site that may be interesting to you, as they are consistent with your tastes and consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).
