1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a text file that a web server can store on your device’s hard drive to keep some kind of information about you as a user. Cookies are used for various purposes such as storing data for future visits, recognizing the user to avoid requesting authentication again, knowing which pages you visit, or saving your preferences in customizable areas… Websites usually use cookies to obtain statistical information about their pages and analyze the behavior of their customers/users.

• Allow only communication between the user’s device and the network
• Strictly provide a service explicitly requested by the user.

Thus, the following cookies would be considered exempt:

• “User input” cookies. These are stored on the device when the user inputs information on a website. For example, when filling out a web form.
• Authentication or user identification cookies (session only). Their purpose is to identify a user when they enter their credentials to log in.
• User security cookies. These cookies detect security problems or risks. For example, those that detect failed and repeated login attempts.
• Multimedia player session cookies. They allow multimedia content to be played on the websites visited by the user. For example, videos that auto-play upon visiting a site are authorized by this type of cookie.
• Load balancing session cookies. They connect the website server and the user’s server so information can be exchanged between both.
• User interface customization cookies. These cookies remember user preferences while browsing a website. For example, language, selected browser, etc.
• Certain plug-in cookies for sharing social content. These are used when the user visits social networks via a website. For example, when sharing a webpage article on social media.

The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in the following sections.
