A cookie is a small file composed of letters and numbers stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment accessing the Internet. It is installed via a request from a web server to a browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and is completely “passive” (it contains no software, viruses, or spyware and cannot access data on the hard drive).
They enable the recognition of the user's device and the display of relevant content. They support comfortable browsing: privacy preferences, shopping cart, relevant advertising. They are also used for anonymous, aggregated statistics to improve website structure and content.
We use session cookies (temporary, until the browser is closed) and persistent cookies (remain until expiry or manual deletion).

Cookies do not inherently require personal information and do not identify users. Any data collected is encrypted and only used for certain functionalities.
You can change your browser settings to block or delete cookies, but this may affect site functionality.
They enable personalized, efficient browsing. Disabling cookies doesn’t stop ads; it simply makes them less relevant.
Cookies are not viruses and do not execute code. However, they can be used for tracking (spyware). Modern browsers have protections, but if traffic isn’t encrypted (e.g., unsecured Wi‑Fi), data may be intercepted.
Cookies are ubiquitous; disabling them may affect your ability to visit websites. Understanding how they work and applying proper settings allows for safer and more efficient browsing.
