1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored in the user’s browser when they visit a website. Its main purpose is to allow the website to recognise the visit when the user returns, adapt content to their preferences and support certain browsing features.
Cookies are an established part of how the web works: they are not viruses, trojans or any kind of malicious software. They do not open pop-up windows or access files on the user’s device. The data they store is technical in nature (language preferences, user session, browser settings, visit statistics, etc.) and does not include sensitive personal data such as bank details, photographs or identity documents.
It is important to note that cookies are tied to the browser used, not to the person. If the same user accesses the website from different browsers, the system will not recognise them as the same user.
