Definition

Cookies are short text files stored on the user’s device by a web site.

Cookies are normally used to provide a more personalised experience and to remember user profile without the need of a specific login. Also it can be placed by third parties (such as an advertising network) in end users´ devices and maybe be used to track users when surfing across different websites associated to that third party.
