What are cookies?
A cookie is a file that stores the website’s settings. Websites store cookies into the device the user uses to access the internet in order to recognize individual devices and settings users used when accessing the website. Cookies enable websites to determine whether the user has accessed the website before and with advanced applications modify individual settings correspondingly. They are also used to keep track of the website’s visits, thus establishing the efficiency of content and advertisement display and continuous improvement of the website. In some cases, cookies are necessary for certain services to function (for example: online banks, online stores and other e-commerce activities).
Which cookies are saved is in complete control of the user’s browser. The user can limit or disable cookies.
Why are cookies necessary?
Cookies are essential in guaranteeing user friendly online services; the most commonly used e-commerce functions would not be possible without them. The interaction between the online user and the website is quicker and simpler because of cookies. Thanks to them, the website memorizes individual preferences and experience, making online browsing more effective and pleasant. There are several reasons that support the use of cookies. They are used to save data on the website’s status (details on individual website adjustments), enable online services to be carried out (for example online stores), enable the collection of statistical information on users and website visits, online user’s routines and other. With the use of cookies, we are, therefore, able to assess the efficiency of our website’s design. You can read more about the recommended and allowed use of website cookies in the directive of the information commissioner here.
