Cookies: In the context of the World Wide Web, a cookie describes a small text file that is stored locally on the computer of the user when visiting a website. This file stores data about the behavior of the user. When the browser is called up and the corresponding website is visited repeatedly, the cookie is used and uses the stored data to provide the web server with information about the surfing behavior of the user.
In this context cookies are information that a website stores locally on a visitor’s computer in a small text file. This can be settings already made by the user on a page, but also information that the website has gathered completely independently from the user. Later, these locally stored text files can then be read out again by the same web server from which they were created. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can manage cookies using the browser features (usually under „Options“ or „Preferences“). This may disable the storage of cookies, be made dependent on your approval in individual cases or otherwise restricted. You can also delete cookies at any time.

This allows the operator of the server to see if and when an e-mail has been opened or a website has been visited.This function is usually realized by calling a small program (Javascript). This will allow certain types of information to be detected and shared on your computer system, such as the content of cookies, the time and date of the page view, and a description of the page on which the pixel is located.
