Cookies, therefore, are used to perform authentication, tracking of browsing sessions, and storage of information regarding user activities for statistical or advertising purposes. In the course of browsing a site, the user may also receive on his/her computer or mobile device cookies from web servers other than the one he/she is visiting, these are called “Third Party Cookies”.

- browsing or session cookies (e.g. for authentication),
- functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g. language, or a wishlist) in order to improve the service rendered to the user.
