What are cookies, pixels, and local storage?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser by a website you visit or a web-enabled app you use. They help the website remember information about your visit, which can both make the site easier to visit again as well as make it more useful to you.

Your browser stores cookies on the hard disk only during the current session, occupying a minimum space of memory and never damaging the computer. Cookies do not contain any specific personal information, and most of them are deleted from the hard drive at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies).

However, they may also allow the website to store and retrieve information about your browsing habits the equipment you used to access the website. Therefore, depending on the information they contain and the way you use your computer or device, they can be used to univocally recognize you.

Pixels are small amounts of code placed on a web page, in a web-enabled app, or an email. They are used to learn whether you have interacted with specific web or email content and help measure and improve services and personalize your experience.

Local storage is used to save data on your computer or mobile device. It allows the web-app to store actions when you are not online, which are later synchronised with the remote system.
