Cookies are small text files. When a user visits a website, the site sends these files to the user’s computer or mobile device. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website’s server. The purpose of these cookies is to enable the website to ‘remember’ the user’s actions and preferences (such as access to data, language chosen, character size, display settings, etc.), so that the user is not required to re-enter them when they return to the site or browse its pages. This means that cookies are used for computer authentication, session tracking and memorisation of information regarding the activities of users accessing a website. For statistical or advertising purposes, cookies may also contain a unique identification code to track user navigation on the site. While browsing a website, the user may also receive on their computer or mobile device cookies from websites or web servers other than the one visited (these are known as “third-party” cookies). Some operations cannot be performed without the use of cookies, which in some cases are necessary for the technical operation of the site.
Various types of cookies exist. They remain on the user’s computer or mobile device for a certain period of time, depending on their features and functions: session cookies are automatically deleted when the user closes their web browser, while persistent cookies remain on the user’s device until a certain date.
In accordance with current legislation, the use of cookies does not always require the express consent of the user. In particular, technical cookies, which are those used for the sole purpose of communication transmission on an electronic communications network or as strictly necessary for the provision of a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent. In other words, these cookies are essential for the operation of the website or necessary for an activity requested by the user.
Technical cookies which do not require the user’s express consent include:
- analytical cookies, if they are used directly by the website administrator to gather information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and types of visits to the site
- session or navigation cookies (for access, to make a purchase, etc.)
- personalization cookies, used to improve the service offered. They allow the user to browse the site according to the criteria they have selected (e.g. language, purchase history) in order to improve the service offered.
By contrast, profile cookies, used to create user profiles and to send advertising messages according to the preferences shown while browsing the network, require the user’s prior consent.
