What is a cookie and what is it used for?

A cookie (or connection token) is a text file that may be stored, subject to your choices, in a dedicated space on your device’s hard drive (computer, tablet, etc.) when you visit an online service through your browser software. It is transmitted by the server of a website to your browser. Each cookie is assigned an anonymous identifier. The cookie file allows its issuer to identify the device in which it is stored during the validity period or registration of the cookie concerned. A cookie does not allow identification of a physical person.
