1. What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on a user’s browser to facilitate their navigation on a website. They are essential for the operation of the internet.
Cookies are used, for example, to validate records on a website (to remember a username and password); to remember options such as font size, language, browser used; to analyse the habits and behaviours of users to improve the services offered; and to adapt the content of a website to the preferences of users.
Cookies may be “per session”, which means that they will be deleted once the user leaves the website that has generated them, or “persistent”, which means that they remain on the user’s computer until a certain date.
Similarly, Cookies may be “own”, managed by the domain that the user accesses and from which he requests a certain service (in this case the domains owned by SOLTEC, as the owner of the soltec.com domain) or “third party cookies”, in which case they are sent to the user’s computer from a different domain to the one being accessed.
