What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer when you browse a website or use a web application. These files contain various types of information that aim to enhance the functionality of a website (such as online shopping or personalizing messages based on your preferences), collect statistical data, and generally improve your browsing experience.
Types of cookies and purposes
There are different types of cookies, which are classified according to their characteristics and how they are used, as follows:
Session cookies / Persistent cookies
Session cookies are temporarily stored in your computer's memory while you visit a website (for example, to keep track of the language you have selected). Session cookies are stored for a short period of time and are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your computer for a long period of time, depending on the expiration date set when the cookie is generated. These cookies allow websites to store information even during subsequent visits by the user, avoiding, for example, having to re-enter your login credentials.
First-party cookies / Third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by the websites themselves (with the same domain as the one indicated in the browser address bar) and can only be read by those websites.
Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are set by domains other than the one indicated in the browser address bar, i.e., by organizations that do not correspond to the owners of the websites. Such cookies, used, for example, to collect information for advertising and content personalization purposes, as well as to track visits to the site, may be “third-party cookies.”
Technical cookies / Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies are used to collect and store information about the visitor (for example, the pages visited, searches performed, etc.) in order to offer more targeted advertising messages in line with their int
