3.1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files containing information that may in particular relate to a website's visitor, his or her visit and the context of his or her visit, which the server hosting the visited site deposits on the device used by the visitor at the time of the visit so that they can be used from that moment and for as long as they are kept.
