Cookies are small pieces of data sent by a website and stored in your web browser's memory. They are often used by websites to help them function properly, as websites are stateless and do not remember user information from one page to the next.

Cookies are small pieces of data sent by a website and stored in your web browser's memory. They are often used to help websites function correctly, as websites are stateless and do not remember user information from one page to the next. However, cookies can also be used to track users' actions on one website or on several websites, in order to collect usage data and identify users' interests and behavior. This information can then be used to display relevant advertising to users. 

When websites use the CookieHub Consent Management Platform (CMP), they give users the option of authorizing or refusing certain categories of cookies. This helps protect users' privacy. The most common cookie categories are necessary cookies, preference cookies, analytics cookies and marketing cookies. 

Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies are used to ensure the proper functioning of a website and are generally not used for tracking purposes. They are often used for user authentication, so that a website can remember who is logged in when the user navigates to different pages or refreshes the site. Necessary cookies can also be used to track items in a shopping cart, or to provide load balancing information. 

Preference cookies

Preference cookies are used to store information that customizes the appearance or behavior of a website for each user. This may include the user's preferred language, region, currency or color theme. 

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies are not essential, but they are used to collect valuable information about how a website is used. This information can help identify problems and determine what needs to be improved on the site, as well as what content is useful to users. In most cases, the information collected by analytics cookies is anonymous, but some analytics services may collect user-identifiable information. 

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track users across multiple websites, enabling publishers to display relevant and attractive advertising. These cookies are generally used by advertising networks to target users with ads likely to interest them.
