2. What is a cookie?

A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, or browser cookie, is generally a small text file sent by a website and stored in the user’s web browser or device while browsing a website or using a mobile application.
When the user revisits the same website, the data stored in the cookie can be retrieved by the website to inform it of the user’s previous activity.

Cookies were designed as a reliable mechanism for websites to remember stateful information or user activity from past visits.
They help us optimize your visit to the Website, remember your technical preferences (for example, language choice, newsletter subscription, etc.), and display more relevant services and offers.

If you wish to use the Website, KWC Hand in Hand VZW recommends enabling cookies. However, if you prefer not to, you are always free to disable them.

Cookies may include data such as clicking certain buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited, even months or years ago.
Although cookies cannot contain viruses or install malware on the host computer, tracking cookies—especially third-party tracking cookies—are often used to collect long-term browsing data, which raised privacy concerns and led to action by European and U.S. legislators in 2011.

For example, if the Max-Age of a permanent cookie is set to one year, the initial value stored in that cookie will be sent back to the server each time the user visits within that year. This stores key information, such as how the user initially arrived at the Website.
For instance, once you have selected your preferred language, the Website will store this preference in a permanent cookie so that upon your next visit, content is displayed in that language.
Performance cookies: These cookies help improve the Website’s performance, ensuring a better user experience.
