What are cookies?

“Cookies” are small text files with information that a website (specifically the website server) stores unilaterally in the browser of a user’s computer, without any other exchange of data. Cookies contain some information, such as the name of a website and some digits and numbers. Every time the user visits a website, the latter retrieves the information in question and offers him related services. A typical example is the user’s preferences on a website, such as the choice of language, searches, advertisements, etc.

The website  http://www.aboutcookies.org/ contains detailed information on how to manage cookies in different browsers and includes details on how to delete cookies from your computer’s browser, as well as other general information about cookies.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are used for the correct operation of certain website functions. They are distinguished between browser cookies and session cookies, which ensure that the Website is displayed correctly.

In the event that a user objects to the use of such technical cookies (technical cookies), he will not be able to browse and see the Website at its maximum potential.

Apart from technical cookies, the general rule governing the use of an electronic communications network is that gaining access to information already stored in the subscriber’s terminal equipment requires the prior consent of the user after clear and extensive information. This consent should be given with a positive gesture (opt-in) and not with a negative gesture (opt-out).

So, cookies which are not “technically” cookies and which are more important for user privacy, e.g. those used to create a profile for the user, can be installed in the browser of the user’s computer if the user has been clearly and extensively informed and has validly given his consent.

The websites Facebook, Twitter and Youtube can place cookies useful for sharing content via social networking websites, or for collecting statistics about visits.
