2 - What are cookies?
We use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be automatically collected. An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie", "HTTP cookie", or simply "cookie") is a small-sized file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user through which the internet is accessed. Cookies are installed by a request made by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a set lifespan, remaining "passive", meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses or spyware, and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they were installed. A cookie consists of two parts: the name of the cookie; and the content or value of the cookie. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
