What are Cookies?

Cookies are messages that web servers pass to your webbrowserwhen you visit Internet sites. Your browser stores each message in a small file, calledcookie.txt. When you request another page from the server, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. These files typically contain information about your visit to the web page, as well as any information you've volunteered, such as your name and interests.

Servers can use cookies to provide personalized web pages. When you select preferences at a site that uses this option, the server places the information in a cookie. When you return, the server uses the information in the cookie to create a customized page for you.

Types of Cookies

Persistent Cookie: A persistent cookie is one that continues to exist even after the web browser is closed. These are stored on a user's device to help remember information, settings, preferences, or sign-on credentials that a user has previously saved. This helps create a convenient and faster website experience. Thesecookieshave an expiration date issued to it by the webserver. Session Cookie: A session cookie contains information that is stored in a temporary memory location and then subsequently deleted after the session is completed or the web browser is closed. This cookie stores information that the user has entered and tracks the movements of the user within the website. Because a session cookie is temporal, it does not accumulate information from the user’s PC or the user’s identity. The information it stores is in the form of a session identification that will not, in any case, relate personally to the user.

First Party Cookies: These are cookiesstored by the website you are visiting directly. They allow website owners to collect analytics data, remember language settings, and perform other useful functions that help provide a good user experience. Third Party Cookies: These are cookiescreated by domains other than the one you are visiting directly, hence the name third-party. They are used for cross-site tracking, retargeting and ad-serving.
