2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to personalize the user experience.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

When you visit cafe-dions.click for the first time, our server places a cookie on your device. Each time you return, your browser sends this cookie back to us, so we can recognize your device. Cookies help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our site, and serve you relevant content and advertisements.

Cookies are not programs — they cannot run code, carry viruses, or install malware. They are simple text files that store limited information about your interactions with a website.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Origin
