1. What are cookies and what else is stored in the browser?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit our website. They hold information about your browsing to improve your experience and to show advertising based on your habits. Some cookies are essential (technical or interface personalisation). Others (analytics or behavioural advertising) require us to inform you and obtain your consent first.
LocalStorage and SessionStorage are browser storage areas. LocalStorage persists until you clear your browser data; SessionStorage lasts only while the tab remains open. They allow storing more information than cookies without impacting performance.
You can find more information here.
2. Are they dangerous?
Risk depends on the type of cookie and whether it is first-party or third-party. Most cookies are not dangerous.
Technical and preference cookies
The former Article 29 Working Party (now EDPB) stated in Opinion 4/2012 that consent is not required when cookies:
- are necessary to transmit communications between user and servers, and
- are necessary to provide a functionality explicitly requested by the user.
Statistics cookies
They require consent, but risk is low if first-party, aggregated, strictly statistical, transparently disclosed and with an opt-out.
First-party vs. third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by our site; third-party cookies are set by independent providers. Our joint responsibility is limited to enabling the download on your device for the stated purposes.
