What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file stored by a server in a user's terminal (computer, telephone, etc.) and associated with a web domain (i.e. in most cases with all the pages of a single website). Generally speaking, the cookie contains certain directly or indirectly identifying information, such as the name of the server that deposited it, a session identifier, or even information on navigation within the site you are visiting, such as the pages you have visited, for example, a terminal identifier, an advertising identifier, etc.

Cookies have many uses: they can be used to remember your advertising ID, the contents of your shopping cart, the language in which the web page is displayed, to track your browsing for statistical or advertising purposes, to personalise content etc. For the sake of simplicity, we use the term cookies to refer to all types of tracers.

Who can place cookies on your terminal?

prevention service providers or our partners' clients. You can consult the list of partners (also available via the cookie management platform).
