Cookies are small data files stored on the user's computer, tablet or smartphone. These are not programs containing malicious malware or viruses.
Some cookies perform essential functions for the site. Cookies also help us understand why the user visits our site, allowing us to optimise and structure it in a way that targets the specific needs and interests of the user. Cookies remember items such as items added to the shopping cart, whether the user had already visited the site in the past, whether they were logged in and the specific language and currency in which they prefer to view the content of the site. We also use cookies to target our advertising on other websites in a user-focused manner. In general, cookies are part of those services that allow us to present content that is as interesting as possible for the visitor.
You can see the specific services that store cookies and why they require them, grouped into different categories:
The retention period of a cookie on devices and browsers varies. The duration of a cookie is calculated based on the last visit to our website. When the duration of a cookie expires, it is automatically deleted. The duration of all our cookies is indicated in our dedicated policy.
All cookies and/or third-party cookies can be rejected entirely at any time by changing the settings in the browser on your computer, tablet or smartphone. The location of these settings depends on the browser you are using. You should know, however, that by rejecting all cookies and/or those of third parties, there will be functions and services of the website that will be unusable (because they depend on cookies).

Cookies are small text files stored in the visitor's browser by your site. These files usually contain information about preferences regarding the language or location of the visitor, but can retain a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information. Information is transmitted between your browser and the web server, allowing the website to recognize visitor settings when they return to your site.
There are different types of cookies. Their classification depends on their expiration, who sets them and their function. It is essential that the website correctly identifies the cookies used and lists them together with their purpose and duration in the cookie policy.
Consent Solution helps you manage cookies and user consents collected on your domain, ensuring that your website is always up to date and complies with cookie regulations.
What are cookies for?Cookies perform two actions: they improve the visitor experience and monitor user behavior on your site. They are designed to contain specific information related to the user visit. For example, if you have a web store and your user places items in their shopping cart, a cookie will remember that item as the user continues to browse. Or, your user may prefer another language variant on your site: a cookie will store that information. When the visitor returns to your site, your website reads the information in cookies and remembers preferences.
Despite this, cookies are also designed to monitor users on your site and across the entire network. Many companies that offer software solutions for your site (analysis data, widgets, add-ons, CRM) set cookies through your site. These cookies are often not only used for your benefit, but also to create user profiles for marketing purposes. This monitoring may violate the privacy of visitors and is subject to data protection regulations such as ePrivacy, GDPR and CCPA.
There are two main types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies.
Session cookies are stored in a temporary storage and deleted when the user ends the “session” in the browser. This type of cookie monitors the user's visit to the site and means that the page does not request the same information multiple times, such as login information.
Persistent cookies are stored on the user's device (phone, tablet, computer). These cookies remain on your device until their expiration date. When the visitor returns to your site, the browser sends the information stored in cookies to your site. These cookies can identify users, which is why you can use them for CRM and Analytics systems to track visitors, leads and customers. For this reason, they are sometimes called tracking cookies.
Cookies may retain various visitor-specific information. Some information provides you with data for your business. Other types of information are categorized as personal data. Here’s an overview:
Basically, cookies are placed by your site (first-party cookies) or by the services implemented on your site (third-party cookies).
What are first-party cookies?
First-party cookies are usually used to perform basic features such as keeping the user logged in to your site or remembering items in the shopping cart.
What are third-party cookies?
Third-party cookies are set by other companies via your site. They usually provide information for analytics or announcements. Many of these are used to collect users' personal data or create profiles and recipients for marketing purposes.
Examples of third-party services:
Right click on the website and press Inspect > > Application > Storage > Cookies to obtain a list of cookies placed in the specific browser. If you do this in incognito mode, you will get accurate results, as the image will not be affected by previous consensus choices. This is also a good way to check whether your website places unnecessary cookies before user consent is given/refused.

Cookies contain information about the user's visit to your site. Some information may be considered personal, such as IP address, identifiers, geographic location. Despite this, cookies cannot be used to hack information from users' computers or distribute malicious software.
Companies use tracking cookies to create highly detailed user profiles used for marketing purposes, for example to serve ads to specific user profiles. To do this, many sites use third-party services such as the Facebook share button which allows Facebook to monitor user activity on the internet where other share buttons are implemented.

Yes, third-party cookies are effectively phased out, with significant steps taken by major browser providers, most recently Google Chrome. Google announced its plan to phase out third-party cookies in Chrome, starting the process in January 2024. Initially, this change will affect ’1% of Chrome users globally, approximately 30 million people, before spreading to all users by the end of 2024.
This move is part of a broader trend among browser providers responding to growing concerns about user privacy and data protection. Other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Apple's Safari have already implemented stricter restrictions on third-party cookies.
Despite these developments, the end of third-party cookies does not eliminate the need for user consent for tracking. There are still other tracking technologies, and data protection laws such as GDPR require explicit consent for any form of user tracking and data collection. Google has also made consent a key aspect of using its services, with the introduction of the consent mode of Google Consent Mode v2 and stricter requirements for consent management platforms in accordance with data privacy laws.
