Generally, an application used to access web pages allows cookies to be saved on your device by default. These settings can be changed so that automatic management of cookies is blocked by the web browser, or the user is informed each time cookies are sent to their device.
Detailed information on how to manage cookies can be found in the settings area of your application (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain functionalities of the website. Disabling or refusing to accept cookies may make this website difficult to visit and will result in limitations on its usability.
Users can configure their browser to reject cookies or to accept cookies from specific websites only. All modern browsers provide the option to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found under the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser.
However, refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertisements — it only means that such ads will not be tailored to your preferences and interests as indicated by your browsing behavior.
- Why Are Cookies Important for the Internet?
Cookies are a central component of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user’s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may render certain websites or parts of websites unusable.
Disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising, in accordance with applicable laws – it simply means that such advertising will no longer take your preferences and interests into account, as reflected by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication via an account):
- Content and services tailored to the user’s preferences – such as product and service categories
- Offers adapted to users’ interests
- Remembering passwords
- Remembering child protection filters regarding online content (e.g., family mode options, safe search functions)
- Limiting ad display frequency – restricting the number of times an ad is shown to a specific user on a website
- Delivering relevant advertising to users
Measuring, optimizing, and adapting analytics features – for example, confirming a certain level of website traffic, determining which type of content is viewed, and how users arrive on a website (e.g., through search engines, directly, or via other websites)
Websites perform these types of analysis to improve their services for the benefit of users.
