What is a cookie?
A cookie is a harmless text file stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. Its purpose is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return. Although many people are unaware of it, cookies have been used for over 20 years, since the first web browsers appeared on the World Wide Web.
What is a cookie NOT?
It is not a virus, Trojan, worm, spam, spyware, or pop-up window.
What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not typically store sensitive information such as credit card details, bank data, photos, ID numbers, or personal information. The data they store is usually technical, related to personal preferences, content customization, and similar.
The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and then try accessing the same website using Firefox or Chrome, you’ll notice that the site does not recognize you as the same person — because it is associating the session with the browser, not with the individual.
What types of cookies are there?
- Technical cookies: These are the most basic type of cookies and allow, among other things, the website to distinguish whether the user is a human or an automated application, and whether they are an anonymous user or a registered one — essential tasks for the proper functioning of any dynamic website.
- Analytical cookies: These collect information about the type of browsing being carried out, the sections most visited, products viewed, time of access, language preferences, and more.
- Advertising cookies: These display advertisements based on your browsing behavior, country of origin, language, and other factors.
What are first-party and third-party cookies?
First-party cookies are those generated by the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies are generated by external services or providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.
What happens if I disable cookies?
To help you understand the impact of disabling cookies, here are a few examples:
- You won’t be able to share content from that website on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media platform.
- The website won’t be able to tailor content to your personal preferences, as is usually the case with online stores.
- You won’t be able to access the personal area of the website, such as My Account, My Profile, or My Orders.
- Online stores: You won’t be able to make purchases online; you would have to do so by phone or by visiting the physical store, if available.
- It won’t be possible to customize your geographic preferences such as time zone, currency, or language.
- The website won’t be able to perform web analytics on visitors and traffic, which will make it harder for the site to remain competitive.
- You won’t be able to write on the blog, upload photos, post comments, rate or review content. The website also won’t be able to determine whether you are a human or an automated application posting spam.
- Targeted advertising will not be displayed, which will reduce the website’s advertising revenue.
- All social media platforms use cookies, so if you disable them, you won’t be able to use any social network.
