What are Cookies?

Cookies can be used to collect information generated by a website and stored via an Internet user's browser. A cookie is a small file or text information (usually smaller than one Kbyte) placed by a website on the hard disk of a user’s computer or mobile device via the user's browser. A cookie allows the website to temporarily or permanently "remember" the user's actions or preferences. Most web browsers support cookies, but users can set their browsers to reject cookies. Users can also delete the cookies at any time. Many users configure the cookie settings in their browsers to automatically delete cookies by default when the browser window is closed. Websites use cookies to identify users, remember their customers' preferences, and allow users to complete tasks without having to re-enter information when they move to another page or revisit the website later.

Cookies can also be used to collect information for targeted advertising and marketing based on online behaviour. For example, companies use cookies to track user behaviour and create personal profiles that allow them to show users advertisements tailored to their previous searches. There are different types of cookies. A classification can be made based on their lifetime:

• Session Cookie: Session cookies are temporary cookies that are not permanently stored on the computer or mobile device used by the user. They are used as part of the login, authentication, and session management flows of the website. Certain session cookies are also used to understand, for example, if a user interacting with the website is a new visitor or a visitor returning as part of the same browsing session. These session cookies are erased when the user closes the browser, or after extended inactivity.
• Persistent Cookie: Persistent cookies are those placed on the user’s computer or mobile device for a pre-determined length of time when a user visits a website. They are used on the website, for example, to understand (i.e. through Matomo services) what areas of the website are most popular, and how users engage with them.

Another classification can be made on the domain to which they belong:

• First-Party Cookie: A First-Party Cookie is a Cookie stored on a user's device by the website they are currently visiting. These cookies are created and managed by the website's domain and are typically used to enhance user experience, remember preferences, and track user behaviour on that specific site.
• Third-Party Cookie: A Third-Party Cookie is a Cookie which is created and managed by a domain other than the one the user is currently visiting. These cookies are often used for cross-site tracking, advertising, and analytics purposes, enabling businesses to understand user behaviour across multiple websites and deliver targeted ads based on those behaviours.

If the web server that feeds the website stores cookies on the user's computer or mobile device, these are referred to as "HTTP header cookies". Furthermore, cookies can be stored by means of JavaScript code that is located or referenced on the page.

Example: A website is offered in five different language versions. When you call up the website for the first time, you select the language version "English". A text file (a "persistent cookie") including the information that you want to use the website in the English language is now stored on your device. If you do not delete the cookies and call up the website again with the same browser, the website will know from the stored cookie that the website is to be displayed in English.
