What is a cookie?

Cookies are small temporary files stored in your browsing device (computer, telephone, tablet, etc) when you visit a website. Cookies enable the website to store certain information in your device, for example to store user preferences or to recognize you if you visit the website later.

When a cookie is created in your device, the following information is stored:

  • The address (domain) of the website that created the cookie.
  • The duration of the cookie (may last just some minutes or for years).
  • The content of the cookie.

You can configure your web browser at any time to block the use of cookies by certain websites. You may delete previously stored cookies as well.

What are cookies used for?

  • Essential cookies. Technical cookies necessary to manage your flow within the website or to keep you logged in. If you block the, it is possible that certain parts of the website might not work properly.
  • Customization cookies. Necessary to remember certain user preferences.

What is local storage?

A local storage is a file created by a website in your device. Cookies are just one type of local storage, but there are others. It is important that you know them so you can block them or delete the data stored by them:

  • Browser local storage. Some websites use the browser’s “sessionStorage” and “localStorage” to store data; “sessionStorage” is stored temporarily, but the “localStorage” is persistent. You may erase them by deleting your browser’s history.
  • Flash local storage (“Flash Local Shared Objects”). Flash is a browser plug-in used to add Interactive and multimedia content into websites. Flash can store data in your device.
  • Silverlight local storage (“Isolated Objects”). Silverlight is a browser plug-in used to add Interactive and multimedia content into websites. Silverlight can store data in your device.
  • A web beacon is a tracking method that consists of an image embedded into a website. When your browser connects to the server where the image is located to download it, your access is tracked. Some times web beacons are very small or transparent images so the user is not aware of them.

What are third-party cookies?

  • Analytics on website usage.
  • Interactive maps.
  • Videos and multimedia elements.
  • Social-sharing buttons.
