5.1 What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file that may be deposited on a terminal when consulting an online service with browsing software. A cookie file allows its issuer, during its period of validity, to recognize the terminal concerned each time this terminal accesses digital content containing cookies from the same issuer.

In any case, cookies deposited on your browsing terminal with your consent are destroyed 13 months after they are deposited on your terminal.
