1. What is a cookie?
A “cookie” is a small text file that a website stores in the user’s browser. It facilitates browsing a website and is essential for the proper functioning of the internet.
Cookies are used, for example, to validate logins on the website (remembering username and password), to remember user preferences such as font size, language, and browser type, to analyze user behavior and habits in order to improve the services offered, or to tailor the content of a website to the visitor’s preferences.
Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted once the user leaves the website that generated them, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on the user’s device until a specified date.
Cookies may also be “first-party” cookies, managed by the domain the user is accessing and requesting a service from (in this case, domains owned by GDX-GROUP TECHNOLOGIC CONSULTING S.L.U., owner of the domain www.gdx-group.com), or “third-party” cookies, sent to the user’s device from a domain different from the one accessed.
