What are cookies?
A cookie is a file that stores the settings of a web page. Websites store cookies in user devices that access the Internet in order to identify the individual devices and settings that users have used in accessing. Cookies allow web pages to recognize if a user has already visited this site, and with advanced applications, they can adjust their individual settings accordingly. Their storage is under the complete control of a browser used by the user – it can limit or disable cookie storage as desired.
Why are cookies needed?
Cookies are fundamental to providing user-friendly online services; the most common e-commerce functions would not be possible without cookies. The interaction between the web user and the website is quicker and easier with the help of cookies. With their help, the web site remembers the individual’s preferences and experiences, making web browsing more effective and enjoyable. There are several reasons to use cookies. They are used to store information about the status of each web page (details of individual website customizations), help in the implementation of online services (eg online store), help in the collection of user statistics and website visits, about the habits of the web user, etc. Using cookies, we can therefore evaluate the effectiveness of our website design. You can also read about the recommended and permitted use of cookies on web pages, the guidelines for the information officer for the use of cookies that can be found here.
