Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat. A cookie is a small text file placed on a visitor's computer by a Web site in order to remember information. While the technology behind cookies is fairly simple, the implications behind their use are increasingly complicated and far-reaching. Firstly, the technology is not well understood resulting in widespread confusion about why and how they are used. Secondly, since cookies have the ability to store or index personal information, their use can carry legal implications in terms of privacy far more serious than most people realize. Thirdly, cookies can pose a security risk if not used correctly. 1, record 3, English, - Cookie%20Guidelines

Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du Canada. Un témoin est un petit fichier texte placé dans l'ordinateur d'un visiteur par un site Web dans le but de mémoriser de l'information. La technologie utilisée est relativement simple; toutefois, les incidences de l'utilisation des témoins se révèlent de plus en plus complexes et profondes. Dans un premier temps, on ne comprend pas bien la technologie, ce qui ne fait qu'augmenter la confusion quant aux raisons et à la façon de les utiliser. Deuxièmement, les témoins peuvent emmagasiner ou indexer des données personnelles, ce qui, au plan de la confidentialité, peut avoir des conséquences juridiques beaucoup plus graves que ne le croit la majorité. Troisièmement, les témoins peuvent parfois poser un risque pour la sécurité s'ils ne sont pas utilisés correctement. 1, record 3, French, - Lignes%20directrices%20concernant%20les%20t%C3%A9moins
