What are cookies?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to the computer or device used (Smartphone, tablet, connected TV, etc...) when accessing certain web pages. Cookies allow a website, among other things, to store and retrieve information about a user’s browsing habits or their computer. Depending on the information they contain and the way they use their computer, they may be used to recognize the user.

A cookie is stored on a computer or device in order to identify the browser while interacting with our websites or applications. A website can set a cookie in the browser if preferences allow it to do so. A browser will only permit a website to access the cookies it sets, not those at other websites.

Likewise, it is also possible for a cookie to be installed in your browser on visiting a website or opening an email in which an advertisement or promotional material regarding our products or services is published. This helps us to show search-related advertising based on a user’s previous searches at a later time, as well as to develop and control our advertisements regarding, for example, the number of times they are viewed, where they appear, what time they are seen, etc.
