What is a Cookie?

​

A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded by your internet browser the first time you visit a
website. The next time you visit this website from the same device, the cookie is either sent back to
the originating website (first-party cookie) or to another website to which it belongs (third-party
cookie). By that, the website can detect that it has already been opened using this browser, and can
improve your user experience when you return to a website you have already visited. Cookies can,
for example, remember your preferences, know how you use the website, and adapt the content you
are shown so that it is more relevant to your personal interests and needs. Depending on the
function and purpose of use, cookies can be divided into technical cookies, profiling cookies, and
third-party cookies.
