What types of cookie are there?
There are several types of cookie:
- First party cookies - first party cookies are cookies set by the website (domain) being visited by the user, the website displayed in the URL window (address bar).
- Third party cookies - third party cookies are cookies that are set by a website (domain) other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate website other than the one the user is currently browsing sets a cookie through that website then this would be a third party cookie.
- Session cookies - these allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They can be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what a user has added to their shopping basket as they continue to browse or remembering that a user is logged into the website they are currently using. Session cookies expire after a browser session has expired and are therefore not stored long term.
- Persistent cookies - these are stored and remain on a users device between browser sessions. These types of cookies allow the preferences or actions of users on a website to be stored longer term. An example of this would be when a user logs into a website and checks the box saying 'remember me', this allows the user to return to the website at a later date without having to log in again. Persistent cookies can be used for a variety of purposes including remembering a users preference when browsing a website or to target advertising to a particular user.
