1. What are cookies?
An "internet cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment through which the internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed by a request from a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).
Once installed, cookies have a fixed lifetime and remain "passive" in the sense that they do not contain any software programmes, viruses or spyware and will not access the information on the hard drive of the user on whose computer they are installed.
A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie name and the content/value of the cookie.
From a technical point of view, only the web-server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the web-page associated with that web-server.
