What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored in text files that are saved on your computer or other devices when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to remember you and your preferences.

Types of cookies

Cookies are divided into three categories:

  • Duration – how long cookies endure
  • Purpose – what purpose cookies have
  • Provenance – the origin or beginning of a cookie

Each of these cookies is divided into further sub-types of cookies:

Duration Cookies

  • Session Cookies are created only temporarily in your browser’s subfolder while you are visiting a website. The session cookie is deleted once you leave the website. 
  • Persistent Cookies will remain in your browser’s subfolder and will only be activated again if you visit the same website that created that particular cookie. This cookie will not reside in your subfolder indefinitely, but will only stay there for the time duration that is set within the cookie. 

Purpose Cookies

  • Strictly necessary cookies are essential cookies that allow you to browse a website and use its features. These are cookies like shopping carts that allow online shops to hold your items while you are shopping online. 
  • Preference cookies allow a website to remember the particular choices that you have made concerning that website. This could be preferences such as language, username and login, etc. 
  • Statistics cookies are used on a website to find out how users use a particular website. These cookies gather information about what pages you visited and how long you were on the website. This type of info is anonymous and the user will not be identifiable. Only the user’s engagement with the website is recorded.
  • Marketing cookies are the ones that try and figure out what kind of advertisement you should be shown. They are also typical third-party cookies. 

Provenance Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies are put directly on your browser by the website that you visit. 
  • Second Party Cookies are put on your browser by a third party when you visit a website. This is normally done by tracking, analytical or advertising systems.
