A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in the user’s browser. Cookies facilitate the use and navigation of a website and are essential for operating on the internet, offering numerous advantages in the provision of interactive services.
Cookies are used, for example, to manage the user’s session (reducing the number of times a password has to be provided) or to adapt the contents of a web page to the user’s preferences, hence improving the user’s experience of the website.
There are two different types of cookies: session cookies, which are deleted once the user leaves the website that generates them, and persistent cookies, which remain on your computer until a certain date.
Cookies can also be either ‘own’ or ‘third-party’ cookies. The former refers to those sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by TMB, while third-party cookies are those sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the service providers contracted by TMB (for example, Google Analytics).
