What is a ‘cookie’?

‘Cookies’ are a tool used by web servers to store and retrieve information on users. They are small text files that web pages send browsers and which are stored within users’ terminals, whether a pc, mobile phone or tablet. Such information enables registered users to retrieve data, where they have such data, on social network connections or browser preferences. These data are stored for retrieval when users visit the web page again.
