What are the different types of cookies?
There are generally two types of cookies:
Original cookies: these are direct cookies. They are created by a site to improve the functioning of a web page. They are used to manage the technical component of a site, such as choosing the language or saving products in a virtual shopping cart in a webshop. They are generated and installed by the visited site.
Third-party cookies: these indirect cookies are generated and installed on your computer by a third party other than the site visited. They record the surfing behavior of an Internet user. Examples: social media like Facebook and Twitter, but also Google Analytics. It is the most widely used system for measuring site visits. It is especially for this type of cookies that site owners must ask Internet users for permission before installing a cookie, in accordance with the law in force since 2012.
This does not differentiate between original cookies and third-party cookies. The internet user’s authorization is the only distinguishing criterion. The cookies that are necessary for a site to function do not require authorization. In all other cases, authorization is required.
What type of cookies do we use?
Original and third-party cookies.
The VE-Lifestyle e-shop mainly uses original cookies. They are meant to make surfing easier. We use them to record certain information, such as the pages visited and the duration of the visits. In order to better surf our websites from your computer, tablet or mobile phone, it is better to accept cookies.
The VE-Lifestyle e-shop also uses third-party cookies: those from Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a free service from Google that collects website statistics and analyzes them in detail. The site manager thus has a clear idea of the flow of visitors, the sources of traffic and the page views. It is thus possible to modify all or part of a site depending on the results and the interests of Internet users.
