What do we mean by technologies similar to cookies?

Technologies similar to cookies are any type of data storage and retrieval mechanism used on the user's device to obtain information. The most common include:

  • The browser's local storage. Some websites use local storages called "sessionStorage" and "localStorage", as well as the browser's indexed database, to store information;
  • The local storage of browser plug-ins, such as Flash Local Shared Objects or Silverlight local storage ("Isolated Objects").
  • The "web beacon" is a tracking technique that consists of inserting an image hosted on an Internet server on a web page (or in an email) so that, when the browser or mail program connects to said server to download and view the image, the connection is recorded. This allows us to know that the user has viewed the website or email. Sometimes this image is very small or transparent so that the user is not aware of its existence.
  • Fingerprinting techniques that combine information obtained from the browser or browsing equipment to distinguish a user on successive visits to different websites.
