What is a cookie?
A “cookie” is a harmless file with a small amount of text that is stored in your browser (such as Google Chrome or Apple’s Safari) when you visit almost any web page. The usefulness of the cookie is that the website can remember your visit when you return to browse that page. Cookies have been used ever since the first browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.
What is NOT a cookie?
It is NOT a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam, spyware or window pop-up.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, ID, photographs or personal information, etc. The data they keep are of a technical nature, such as statistics, personal preferences, personalisation of contents, etc. The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Chrome and then navigate through the same website with the Firefox browser, you will see that the web does not realise that you are the same person because it is associating the information with the browser, not with the person.
