What is a web cookie?

A

A web cookie is a small piece of data stored on the user’s computer by the web
browser while browsing a website. Cookies can also be used to remember
pieces of information that the user previously entered such as names,
addresses, passwords, phone numbers, etc.
While cookies offer convenience for users, they also facilitate tracking of users
and so have data protection implications.
GDPR does not prohibit cookies, but requires users to give permission to use
them when they first visit a website.
