Cookies are tracers stored by a server and installed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.). They are associated with a web domain when you browse a website and are read when you visit. These tracers are automatically sent back during subsequent contacts with the same domain.

They have many uses and different objectives, ranging from a simple technical purpose to improving your browsing experience by offering you advertising tailored to your preferences, thanks to the collection of personal data. Cookies may be used to store your customer ID with a site, the current contents of your shopping basket, the language in which the web page is displayed, an identifier enabling your browsing to be tracked for statistical or advertising purposes, etc.

Some of these uses are strictly necessary for the functionalities expressly requested by the user or for establishing communication and are therefore exempt from consent. Others, which do not correspond to these criteria, require the user's consent before reading or writing.

A distinction should be made between ‘third-party’ cookies and ‘first-party’ cookies. When a user visits a website, they are in practice consulting a ‘domain’ which generally ends with a ‘.com’ or ‘.fr’ extension. For example, content may be transmitted from the domain they are visiting or via other domains which they have not entered themselves and which belong to third parties.
