What is a Cookie?

A cookie is nothing but a text file that you can easily read using a Notebook program on your computer. You have to understand that a cookie is not a program and that they don’t do anything at all. Most of the time, they have two types of information: a unique user ID and a site name.

When visiting a website that uses cookies for the first time, cookies are then downloaded into your computer. In the second visit to the site, your personal computer checks if there’s a relevant cookie (one that has the name of the site for example) and then sends this information back to the site. Once this happens, the site “Knows” that you have been there before, and in many cases, tailors what pops up on your screen to take account of it. That’s why it is really helpful to vary content according to if this is the first time you visit the site or your 33rd time. 

Cookies may have many functions, and one of them is for user control. This means that, when the user enters their username and password, a cookie is generated so they do not repeat this step every time they try to enter the page. A cookie identifies a combination of computer-browser users, not a person.

In addition to that, cookies can be used to get information about the user’s browsing habits. Cookies don’t usually store sensitive information about the user (you), such as credit card numbers or bank details, photographs, your ID or personal information, among others. This data they keep is for technical nature, personal preferences, personalization of content, etc. 

You can block, delete, accept, or block cookies if you want to. You only need to go to your web browser setting menu.
