Cookies store technical data such as content personalisation, acceptance of cookie use, personal settings. Sensitive information (credit‑card numbers, bank accounts, ID numbers, images, etc.) is generally not stored in cookies.

Stored information pertains to the browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.), not the user. You can verify this by accessing the same domain in two different browsers and observing distinct settings.

  1. By Time Active
  • Session cookies: Designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website; typically used for a single service request (e.g., a shopping‑cart list).

Consequences of Disabling Cookies

Examples of possible effects when cookies are not authorised:

  • Items selected in the store will not load, preventing creation of a shopping cart.
  • Access to client or personal areas (or any area requiring login) will be unavailable.
  • Data needed to analyse the website will not be collected, preventing the publisher from improving it.
  • Website content cannot be shared on social networks.
  • Comments on the blog cannot be posted.
  • Social networks themselves cannot be used, as they rely on cookies.
  • Third‑party advertising cannot be displayed, reducing revenue for sites using that model.
  • Browsing may be considered spam on certain domains due to inability to identify the user.
