Cookies have been of great importance in the tech industry since the advent of the digital world. However, now the scenario is changing and the reliance upon cookie-based information is about to fade, as Google’s decision to phase-out cookies will take effect in less than a year.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files sent from the website to the person’s terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being transmitted again on the same website visited by the same user.

A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive nor pass on computer viruses or capture email addresses. Each single cookie is unique to the user’s web browser.

Some of the cookies’ functions can be transferred to other technologies. In this document the term ‘cookie’ refers to both cookies, as such, as well as all similar technologies.
