Is there anything else, apart from cookies?
It is possible for websites to use other forms of storage similar to cookies but with greater capacity, such as other ways of storing data locally on the user’s equipment, for example:
- HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage: space that the website can use on the user’s device. Normally they can be deleted by deleting browsing history.
- Flash “Local Shared Objects” (Silverlight “isolated storage”): these are stored within the Microsoft file that has the user profile. It is necessary to enter the file and delete it. (For example, Vimeo videos). Flash is a way of incorporating multimedia elements into a website, and for this it stores files on the user’s device.
- Web beacons are a means of tracking your activity, inserting a mini-image of which you are not even aware. When you browse a website, it loads alongside the page and the server from which you downloaded the photo, recording the time of access and the number of times you have accessed it.
These files are more intrusive than cookies, being more difficult to delete and storing more information, and are independent of the browser being used. We do not use this kind of storage.
