# Cookies policy
To make Commission websites work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device.

- [How do we use cookies?](https://commission.europa.eu/cookies-policy_en#howdoweusecookies)

- [How can you manage cookies?](https://commission.europa.eu/cookies-policy_en#howcanyoumanagecookies)
## What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
- **First party cookies** are cookies set by the website youâre visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as **third-party cookies.**
- Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.
Every time you visit the Commissionâs websites, you will be prompted to **accept or refuse cookies.**
The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time.
That way, you donât have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.
Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.
## How do we use cookies?
European Commission websites mostly use âfirst-party cookiesâ. These are cookies set and controlled by the Commission, not by any external organisation.
However, to view some of our pages, you will have to accept cookies from external organisations.
The **3 types of first-party cookie** we use are to:
- store visitor preferences
- make our websites operational
- gather analytics data (about user behaviour)
**Visitor preferences**
These are set by us and only we can read them. They remember:
- if you have agreed to (or refused) this siteâs cookie policy
