Before all...
So... what are cookies ?
Web cookies, often simply referred to as "cookies," are small pieces of data that websites store on your computer or device when you visit them. These data files serve various purposes, such as improving your browsing experience, remembering your preferences, and helping websites recognize you on return visits.
Cookies contain information about your interactions with a website, such as login credentials, items in your shopping cart, or your browsing history on that site. They are typically harmless and essential for various web functions, but they have raised privacy concerns because they can track your online behavior to some extent.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies, also known as strictly necessary cookies, serve vital functions for a website. They enable core features, such as login authentication, shopping cart functionality, and security measures.
These cookies are necessary for a website to function correctly. Without them, the website may not work as intended, and you might not be able to access certain services or features.
Optional Cookies
They serve various purposes beyond the core functionality of a website. They can include performance cookies (improving site speed), analytical cookies (collecting data for site analysis), and marketing cookies (tracking user behavior for targeted ads).
These cookies are not strictly necessary for a website to work, but they enhance the user experience, help website owners gather data for optimization, and enable personalized content and advertising.
It may be unclear for you now, but don’t worry...
Sushi got you !
Fisrt of all, you’ll need to set up your preferences by clicking nor accept nor refuse, but configure the cookies. If you can’t configure them, then you’re fucked...
You can accept essential cookies without any problems. Most of the time, you can’t disable them because they’re necessary for the website to work.
Then come the analiticals cookies. They’re used by the owners to see informations as the number of visit, where you click, ect... They’re harmless but I prefer to disable them, you can do as you want.
Now come the real problem. Those are the ads cookies. They basicly collect information about you and your behavior to target ads. Those are most of the time cookies from Facebook, Linkedin and other big compagny which we know, are safe for your data (nop!) So try to refuse them for your right to privacy.
