Cookies are small text files that sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored and then transmitted to the same sites the next time they visit. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are set by a website other than the one the user is visiting. This is because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the site visited.

What are cookies used for?
Cookies are used for different purposes: performing computer authentications, monitoring sessions, storing information on specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, storing preferences, etc.

What are ‘technical’ cookies?
These are cookies that serve to carry out navigation or to provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for any other purpose and are normally installed directly by the website owner.
Without the use of these cookies, some operations could not be carried out or would be more complex and/or less secure, such as home banking activities (viewing account statements, bank transfers, paying bills, etc.), for which cookies, which allow the user to be identified and maintained during the session, are indispensable.

What are ‘profiling’ cookies?
These are cookies used to track the user’s navigation on the web and create profiles on their tastes, habits, choices, etc. With these cookies, advertising messages can be sent to the user’s terminal in line with the preferences already expressed by the user when surfing online.

First Party Cookies 
First Party Cookies are those created by or sent to this website, and are generally used to store information such as the preferences of the user who is visiting the site. They are usually ‘technical’ cookies.

Third Party Cookies 
Third Party Cookies are cookies that are created by, or sent to, a website other than the one you are viewing. Third party websites typically provide some of the content of the website you are viewing. For example, many websites use advertising from third party websites, which in turn may use cookies. Cookies of this type are typically used to record your use of a web page for advertising or marketing purposes. Third party cookies can be permanent or temporary. They usually correspond to “profiling” cookies.
