cookies do not conserve information once you leave the site. They permit, for

numbers to the data “packets” in order to dispatch them in the requested order,
and to detect transmission errors or data loss.

Functional cookies are used exclusively for providing an electronic
communication service at the request of the internet user. If these cookies are
uninstalled, providing this service will be rendered impossible.
The information is conserved beyond your browsing session on the internet
website, and can be transmitted to partners, uniquely for means of supplying
provisions necessary to the services. These can be, for example, cookies that
save the preferences of the user such as language preference of the user,
