When browsing the Internet, some pages
ask for authorization to continue within the query using the so-called
"Cookies". It is important to know that this alert consists of a
legal permit. But do you know what it is? Many do not know how it works. In the
following paragraphs, we present to you all the details about Cookies.

Cookies are defined as a small piece of text that is used by aweb server . They can be stored inside the user's hard drive. Their main and most important function is that they allow a website to save information on a user's machine to recover it later. The database that is stored within cookies is saved by value, pairs, and name.

The behavior of cookies depends on the
browser you're using. For example, to know the database provided by cookies in
the Google Chrome browser. You should visit the following Chrome:    website: // settings / site data.

Different types of information linked to
different web queries are stored within this address. It is important to
mention that cookies should not be confused with programs. Since it could be
said that they are only data products of your online research with given names.
It is also appropriate to clarify that they do not cause any damage to your
computer system.

How cookies work.


Its operation is simple. It is
summarized the first time you visit a web page. This visit can store a cookie
inside your hard drive. That is why, when you visit that specific page again,
the browser will search your hard drive for the cookie belonging to that site.
This process is responsible for sending all the pairs to the server, that is,
name-value and there the information contained in the cookie will be recovered.
In the particular case that the website does not record any important data,
that is, a pair of names or values. The same system will notice that it is the
first time you decide to visit that page. So it will create a new cookie
belonging to that new query.

What were cookies created for?

The creation of cookies is primarily
designed to offer you a search experience or query closer to global Internet
users. As a curious fact, it is important to note that large ecommerces use
this "cookies" system to store the tastes and preferences of their
potential users. This practice facilitates their work because when they
re-enter the page, it shows your products related to your particular tastes and
needs.

Currently, many websites have chosen to
use cookies. Because this practice loads the information much faster. What
attracts recurring users who are always attentive to visit a specific website?
Likewise, social networks have also been pioneers in the use of cookies. This
allows them to show their users content that may interest them. The use of
cookies in this regard is given to show specific content and that this is
loaded much faster.

To start the process of operating cookies, the owner of a website must follow a series of basically fairly simple rules. You will only need a cookie notice, also a legal text in which your visitors approve or not its use. If you own a website it is very easy to start a project that integrates the use of cookies. Also, it gives your users more relevant content and most importantly: speed.
