A cookie is a technology for remembering something about you as a user. Cookies are small text files with information which are stored on your access device.
Without cookies, every website and every app are simply losing its memory every time you visit a new page or open up the app again. It does not remember who you are and what you did or what you like. This can be fairly complicated as many of the user experience you are used to get from MOMENTO when using our website or app would cease to exist. Without this memory we, for example, cannot log you in as we forgot who you are. Or we cannot show you the rights language settings because we don’t know where you are coming from. So, all these useful functionalities which makes MOMENTO so enjoyable would not be possible.
But not using cookies also means that you cannot be tracked. Some websites use cookies to remember what you do on their website, and to target ads at you. That sounds bad but as cookies also remember what you like there will be no advertising - or at least less advertising - that you are not interested in. Another scenario is that cookies will be used to know which of our marketing partners send you to us. If you click on a MOMENTO ad on another website, this website uses cookies to let us know that you are coming from them.
Cookies are not automatically good or bad, but it’s worth understanding what you can do about them and to take your own decision on your data.
