Cookies are small files that are stored on a user's browser. 
The data that cookies store is usually some type of tracking information to help the website perform various tasks, such as managing a session ID when you sign in or tracking cookies if you've installed Google Analytics for instance.

In the EU, the "cookie law" requires your PWA to get consent from visitors before using cookies.
Your final users must be able to refuse the use of cookies and know how their information will be stored and for which purposes it will be used. 

That's what the cookie banner is made for.

GoodBarber uses 3 kinds of cookies:
- Cookies related to operation
These are cookies used by the system to make the PWA work correctly.
The users can't deactivate them.

- Internal services
These are cookies that GoodBarber deposits in order to collect statistics  on the use of the pages.

- External services
These are third-party cookies added to your app when using  Google Tag Manager   or Google Analytics
