Cookies are installed upon request by the webserver of a browser (Internet Explorer, EDGE, Chrome, Mozilla etc.) and they are “passive” in entirety (they do not contain software programmers, viruses, spyware and do not access information existent on the user’s hardware). Cookies are used to authenticate and observe users’ behavior and they are typically used to remember users’ preferences.
