A. What is a "Cookie"

A cookie (or connection witness) is defined by the HTTP communication protocol as a sequence of information sent by an HTTP server to an HTTP client, which the latter returns during each query to the same HTTP server under certain conditions.

A cookie is the equivalent of a small text file stored on the user's terminal. It is sent as an HTTP header by the web server to the web browser, which sends it back unchanged each time it accesses the server.

A cookie can be used for authentication, session maintenance (state maintenance), and to store specific information about the user, such as site preferences or the content of an electronic shopping cart. Since they are generally stored as simple text files, cookies are not executable. They are neither spyware nor viruses.

Most modern browsers allow users to decide whether they accept or reject cookies. Users can also choose how long cookies are stored. However, completely rejecting cookies makes some sites unusable. For example, store shopping carts or sites that require logging into a customer area. Source: www.wikipedia.org.

C. Use of Third-Party Cookies

Images and other objects contained on a web page may reside on servers different from the one hosting the page. To display the page, the browser downloads all these objects. Most websites contain information from different sources.

For example, if you enter www.example.com in your browser, there will often be objects or advertisements on a portion of the page that come from different sources, meaning a domain different from www.example.com.

First-party cookies are cookies that are set by the domain listed in the browser's address bar. Third-party cookies are set by one of the objects on the page that originate from a different domain.

By default, browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Opera accept third-party cookies, but users can change the settings in the browser options to block them. There is no inherent security risk with third-party cookies that enable web functionalities.

These third-party cookies may, for example, allow us to carry out statistics (via Google Analytics or Xiti, for example), propose targeted content based on your interests and preferences, or identify the original third-party website that redirected you to our website, for instance.

These third-party cookies may also allow us to identify you and share all or part of the content of our website on social networks via "share" or "like" functionalities, for example.
