What is a „cookie”?
An „Internet cookie” (a term known as „browser cookie” or „HTTP cookie” or simply „cookie”) is a special text, often encoded, sent by a server to a web browser and then sent back (unmodified) by the browser, whenever accessing that server. Cookies are used for authentication, as well as for tracking user behaviour; typical applications include retaining the user’s preferences. More information about cookies can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/260971/description-of-cookies

According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Recital 30:
“Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags.
