What is a cookie?

A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any web page. The purpose of a cookie is to allow the website to remember your visit when you browse that page again. Although many people don’t know it, cookies have been in use for over 20 years, since the first web browsers for the World Wide Web appeared.

What is not a cookie?

It is not a virus, nor a trojan, nor a worm, nor spam, nor spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies usually do not store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your ID, or personal information, etc. The data they save is technical in nature, personal preferences, content customization, etc.

The web server does not associate you as a person but rather your web browser. In fact, if you normally browse with Internet Explorer and try accessing the same website using Firefox or Chrome, you’ll notice that the website does not recognize you as the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies exist?

  • Technical cookies: These are the most basic cookies and allow, among other things, distinguishing when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous user is browsing, or when it is a registered user. They perform basic tasks for the operation of any dynamic website.
  • Analytics cookies: They collect information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, the products you have viewed, the time frame of use, language, etc.
  • Advertising cookies: They display ads based on your browsing, country of origin, language, etc.

What are first-party and third-party cookies?

First-party cookies are those generated by the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies are those generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.

What happens if I disable cookies?

To help you understand the impact of disabling cookies, here are some examples:

  • You will not be able to share content from that website on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media platform.
  • The website will not be able to adapt content to your personal preferences, as typically happens on online stores.
  • You will not be able to access the personal area of the website, such as “My Account,” “My Profile,” or “My Orders.”
  • Online stores: You will be unable to make purchases online; they would have to be made by phone or by visiting the physical store if available.
  • It will not be possible to personalize your geographical preferences, such as time zone, currency, or language.
  • The website will not be able to perform web analytics on visitors and traffic, which will make it more difficult for the site to remain competitive.

Can cookies be deleted?

Yes. Not only can they be deleted, but they can also be blocked, either generally or specifically for a particular domain.
