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 you’re 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 negg®’s website, you will be prompted to accept, refuse cookies or manage your preferences.
The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period. That way, you don’t 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.

We do not use profiling cookies.
