**What is a cookie and what is it used for?**
A cookie is a small text file that is saved and/or read by your browser on your device's hard drive (e.g., PC, laptop, smartphone, mobile application, tablet) and deposited by the websites you visit. Almost all sites use cookies to function properly and to optimize their ergonomics and features. Cookies also make interactions with sites more secure and faster, as they can remember your preferences (such as your username and language) by sending the information they contain back to the original site (internal cookie) or to another site to which they belong (third-party cookie) when you revisit the site from the same device. Cookies save you the inconvenience of entering data multiple times, facilitate the transfer of specific content, and ease navigation on our web pages. Among other things, they allow us to tailor the content of services to your needs.
