What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file that may be saved in a dedicated area of your device’s* hard drive when you use an online service through your browser. A cookie file allows its issuer to identify the device on which it is stored, for the period during which the cookie is valid or stored.

* “device” means the hardware (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) you use to consult or display a website, an application, advertising content, etc.
