Introduction to Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or device (e.g. mobile phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used in order to make websites fully functional as well as to provide information back to the originating website on each subsequent visit to the website, or to another website that recognises that cookie.
There are two types of cookies:
Persistent cookies – these cookies persist on a user’s device after the browser is closed and remain for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
Session cookies – these are temporary cookies that are created when a user first comes to the website and are removed when the browser window is closed. These cookies allow the website to link the actions of a user during a browser session.
Cookies can be further classified as first-party or third-party.
First-party cookies are created by the website domain the user is currently accessing. Only websites using that domain can access the information in that cookie.
Third-party cookies are created by an external domain and the information can be accessed by other listed domains. Third-party cookies are typically associated with embedded content (e.g. Youtube videos) or advertisements.
