A cookie is a small file containing special, often encoded, text fragments that is sent by a server to a web browser and then sent back (unmodified) by the browser each time it accesses that server. Cookies are NOT viruses and use plain text formats; they are not made up of code snippets, so they cannot be executed or auto-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. As cookies can be used for negative purposes because they store information about users' browsing preferences and history on one or more sites and are used as a form of Spyware (spying on consumer activity), many anti-spyware products constantly flag cookies for deletion as part of anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.
The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla) and is completely "passive" (contains no software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive). Cookies are used both for authentication and to collect information such as browser type and operating system, source page, domain name from which the visitor linked to the site, the purpose being to make it possible to recognize the user's terminal, to understand how visitors use the web page and to present the content of the site in a relevant way, adapted to the user's preferences.
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifetime of a cookie is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (permanent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time via the browser settings.
You can prevent cookies from being set by adjusting your browser settings. (Please note that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this site and many other sites you visit. Disabling cookies will usually result in disabling certain features of this site. It is therefore recommended that you do not disable cookies.
