Thanks to cookies, the site registers the actions and preferences of the user in such a way that they do not need to be shown again when the user returns to visit that site or navigate from one page to another. Cookies, therefore, can be used to perform computer authentication, monitoring of sessions and storage of information related to the activities of users accessing a site and may contain a unique identification code that allows the tracking of the user’s navigation within the site for statistical or advertising purposes. While navigating on a site, users may also receive cookies of websites or web servers on their computer or mobile device other than the one they are visiting (so-called ‘third party’ cookies ).
