What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank cards, photographs, your National ID number or personal information, etc. The data they store are technical, personal preferences, customisation of content, etc.

The web server does not associate you as a person but rather your web browser. In fact, if you normally browse using Internet Explorer and you try browsing on the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realise that you are the same person because in reality it is associating the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies are there?
Technical cookies: They are the most elementary ones and make it possible, among other things, to know when a human or an automated application is browsing, when an anonymous or a registered user is browsing: basic tasks for the functioning of any dynamic website.
Analytics cookies: They gather information about the type of browsing you are doing, the sections you use most, products you have looked up, the time range of your browsing, language, etc.
Advertising cookies: They show advertisements in accordance with your browsing, your country of origin, language, etc.
