1) What are cookies?    

Cookies are software files that websites place on users’ browsers or devices (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) while they browse different web pages. They are used to store information about users’ visits to the website. Cookies do not contain information that directly identifies you, such as personal data. 

 

2) What Are Cookies Used For?  

The use of cookies allows for optimised navigation by tailoring the information and services provided to users’ interests, thereby personalising, adapting, and enhancing their browsing experience each time they visit the website. Cookies are also used for statistical analysis to improve website performance and the services offered. 

 

3) Types and Purposes of Cookies 

Cookies can be classified as either (i) session cookies or (ii) permanent cookies. The first type of cookie expires when the user closes their browser. The second type expires when its purpose has been fulfilled (for example, identifying the user on the website) or when it is manually disabled. 

In terms of purposes, cookies can be classified as: 

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies (Authentication): Essential for the proper functioning of the website. These cookies are typically generated when users access the website or log in, and they are used to identify users on the website with the following purposes:

i) Keeping the user identified so that, when they leave the website and return later, they can still be recognised, making navigation easier without needing to log in again; 

ii) Ensuring that users have authorised access to specific areas or services of the website.

b) Performance and Analytics Cookies: Used to measure and analyse how the website is utilised (e.g., identifying the most visited pages) in an anonymous manner. These cookies help to improve the website’s performance.

c) Functionality Cookies:Enable the website to remember your preferences (such as language or region), offering a more personalised experience.

d) Advertising Cookies: Used to display adverts that are relevant to your interests and to limit the number of times you see a particular advert. They also help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

However, it is important to note that disabling cookies may prevent some web services from functioning properly, partially or fully affecting navigation on the website. 

If cookies are disabled, certain website features and services may not work correctly or may behave unexpectedly. For instance, you may be unable to log in to secure areas or retain your preferences, which could compromise your browsing experience.
