Cookies and their use

What’s a cookie ?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device (e.g. a computer, tablet, smartphone, connected TV, games consoles with an online connection) when you visit a website or view an ad.

It contains several items of data: the name of the server that sent it, a unique ID number and sometimes an expiry date. Cookies have different purposes. They save your language settings on a website, collect information on your browsing history and send you customised services.

Only the sender of a cookie can read, save or edit the information inside it.
