What is a cookie?
A “Cookie Internet” (also known as “cookie browser” or “HTTP cookie” or “cookie”) is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user on which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a web browser request from a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (does not contain software, viruses or spyware, and can not access the information on the hard drive user). Cookies are then returned to the original site at each subsequent visit or to another site that recognizes that cookie.
However, cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. Their primary role is to store the choices made by a user at a time or to recognize the frequent visitors of a web page.
There are 2 large categories of cookies: – session cookies – which are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder to save them until the user exits the web site or closes the browser window (e.g. logging / deleting to / from a webmail or social networking account) – Persistent cookies – which are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depends on the default cookie lifetime).
There are cookies used exclusively for one session, not retained after the user has browsed the website and cookies that are retained and reused every time that person visits that site. However, cookies can be deleted at any time by the user through browser settings.

What is the lifetime of a cookie?
