A cookie is a text file that a web server can save on your device’s hard drive to store some type of information about you as a user. Cookies are used for various purposes such as storing data for future visits, to recognize the user and avoid requesting authentication again, to know which pages you visit, or to save your preferences in customizable areas… Normally, websites use cookies to obtain statistical information about their web pages and analyze the behavior of their clients/users.
Cookies used for any of the following purposes are exempt from compliance with the obligations established in Article 22.2 of the LSSI:

Thus, among the exempt cookies would be those whose purpose is:
- “User input” cookies. These are stored on the user’s device when they enter information on a website. For example, when filling out a web form.
- User authentication or identification cookies (session only). Their function is to identify a user when they enter their credentials upon logging in.
- User security cookies. These are cookies that detect security issues or risks. For example, those that detect repeated failed login attempts.
- Multimedia player session cookies. They allow multimedia content to be played on websites visited by the user. For example, videos that play automatically when entering a website are authorized by this type of cookie.
