What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which can be stored on your computer or your mobile device when you visit websites. This text file stores information, such as your language preference for a website. The next time you visit the website, this cookie will be resent to the website. This allows the website to recognize your browser and, for example, to remember your language preference. Thus, cookies generally make the interaction between the visitor and the website easier and faster and help the visitor navigate between different parts of a website. Cookies can also be used to make a website’s content or advertising on a website more relevant to the visitor and adapt it to their personal tastes and needs.
Cookies are stored on your computer or mobile device in your browser’s folder. The content of a cookie usually consists of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiration date and a unique number code.
Cookies usually have an expiration date. For instance, some cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (the so-called “session cookies”), while other remain on your computer for a longer time, sometimes until you delete them manually (the so-called persistent cookies).
Cookies can be installed by the server of the website you visit or by partners of that website. A website’s server can only read the cookies it has installed itself and has no access to other information found in your computer or mobile device.
Besides classic cookies, we also use similar techniques, such as flash cookies, tags, pixels, device fingerprinting, cross-device tracking, html5-local storage, javascripts, web beacons, software development kits (SDKs), etc. All these techniques are hereinafter referred to as ‘cookies’ and are similarly processed.
Who installs these cookies?
- First-party cookies are installed and managed by Codit. They are specific to the Codit website that is visited.
- Third-party cookies are installed and managed by a third party and carry the domain from this third party. They are installed during your visit to or use of the Codit website. They ensure that your visit to the Codit website results in certain information being sent to third parties (e.g. metrics on the use of the website that interests third parties for advertising purposes).
How long do cookies exist?
- Temporary cookies (or “session cookies”) are temporarily stored in your browser or application. As soon as you close your browser or application, these cookies are automatically deleted.
- Permanent cookies (or “persistent cookies”) remain on your computer or mobile device, even after you close the browser or application. They remain on your device until their expiration date is reached, a new version of the cookie is installed, or you delete them manually.
