Definitions

Cookies allow the internet website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time. Most browsers support cookies, but users can set their browsers to decline them and can delete them whenever they like. Websites mainly use cookies to: identify users, remember users’ custom preferences, and help users complete tasks without having to re-enter information when browsing from one page to another or when visiting the site later. Cookies can also be used for online behavioural target advertising and to show adverts relevant to something that the user searched for in the past.
In the following text we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies using the term ”cookie”.
