Your browser stores cookies on the hard disk only during the current session, occupying a minimum space of memory and never damaging the computer.

However, they may also allow the website to store and retrieve information about your browsing habits the equipment you used to access the website. Therefore, depending on the information they contain and the way you use your computer or device, they can be used to univocally recognize you.
Pixels are small amounts of code placed on a web page, in a web-enabled app, or an email. They are used to learn whether you have interacted with specific web or email content and help measure and improve services and personalize your experience.
Local storage is used to save data on your computer or mobile device. It allows the web-app to store actions when you are not online, which are later synchronised with the remote system.
