What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Cookie types
Technical cookie
A technical cookie is a cookie strictly necessary for the site to function properly.
Session cookie
A session cookie for a website only exists whilst the user is reading or navigating the website. When the user closes their web browser these cookies are usually removed. Some browsers may implement a "continue from last time" feature that will save session cookies even after closing the browser.
Persistent cookie
A persistent cookie for a website exists on a users computer until a future date. For example the cookie expiry date could be set as 1 year, and each time a website is accessed over this period the website could access the cookie.
First-party and Third-party cookie
First-party cookies are cookies set with the same domain (or its subdomain) as your browser's address bar.
Third-party cookies are cookies set on domains different from the one shown on the address bar. The web pages on the first domain may feature content from a third-party domain, e.g. an embedded multimedia content, social network plugins, interactive maps or ads. Third party cookies can generally track and profile your web activity and the geographic location of your device to send you personalized content and advertising messages. Some third parties may also use first party cookies for the same purposes.
Privacy settings in most modern browsers allow you to block third-party tracking cookies.
