What are cookies?

Cookies are data about the user of a website that are stored on the user’s computer. The information is retrieved when you browse by visiting the same website.

There are various types of cookies, depending on who manages them and the computer or domain from which the cookies are sent and process the data obtained. We can distinguish between:

Own cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself and from which the requested service is provided.

Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes data obtained through cookies.

If cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered as own cookies.
