About cookies

Cookies (from the English “cookie”, which means “cookies”) are small text files created by websites and stored on the user’s computer or device. They play an important role in Internet technology by providing opportunities to personalize the user experience and improve the functionality of websites.

The main function of cookies is to track a visitor's actions on a website and collect information about his preferences and interests. When a user visits a website, cookies remember certain information, such as language preferences, page display preferences, or session information, which allows the site to remember the user's preferences on subsequent visits. This is especially useful for sites that allow user authentication, as cookies can store data to automatically authenticate and provide easier access to specific features or areas of the site.

Cookies are also often used to analyze user behavior on websites. The information collected helps websites understand which pages are most popular, which elements users prefer, and how they interact with content. This data helps website owners improve their site structure and offer more relevant and interesting content to their visitors.

However, cookies may also raise security and privacy concerns. For this reason, many browsers and websites provide options for managing cookies.For example, the user can choose to allow or deny the storage of cookies, delete them after each online session, or configure privacy settings to limit access to certain types of information.

In general, cookies are a useful tool in the field of web development and can improve user experience, personalize interactions on websites and collect statistical information to optimize the operation and development of online projects. However, it is important to respect your own privacy settings and take care of the security of your information when using cookies.
