What is cookie
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to the user's device when they visit a website. They allow the website to recognize the user's device and remember their settings or past actions.
For example, cookies enable an online store to remember previous purchases or the selected website language, thereby contributing to a more user-friendly browsing experience.
Privacy and cookies
Cookies can also be used to analyze website traffic, perform advanced advertising techniques, and track individual users across different websites to create a profile that may reveal intimate details of their lives.
In practice, this often happens covertly, which is why cookies can represent an intrusion into privacy. For this reason, new legislation restricts the use of cookies. It does not ban them outright, but it tightens the rules for their use.
The key requirement is that website users must be informed about cookies and must be given a choice as to whether they want the website to track their online activity in this way.
