What are cookies and what is their primary use?

A “cookie” is a small text file created by certain websites on the user’s computer when the user accesses a site, for the purpose of storing and transmitting information. The cookies are sent by a web server (which is the computer on which the website visited is running) to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on the latter’s computer; they are then re-sent to the website during the user’s subsequent visits to the website.

Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are, therefore, technically necessary. In other cases, the site uses cookies to facilitate and streamline navigation by the user or to allow the user to access specifically requested services.

The cookies can remain in the system for long periods of time and can also contain a unique identification code. This enables the websites that use them to track the navigation of the user inside the website itself, for statistical or advertising purposes, in order to create a personalized profile of the user based on the pages visited and show or send him/her targeted advertising messages (known as Behavioral Advertising).
