What are cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that can be saved on your computer or other devices when you visit a website. They mainly help improve how the website works, keep track of what users do, and remember login information for easier browsing. Cookies come in different types depending on where they come from, what they do, and how long they last. Below are the categories of cookies we use.
What are first-party and third-party cookies?
When you visit a website, it can create cookies either from the site itself or from other domains. The cookies made by the site you are using are known as first-party cookies. In contrast, cookies created by other domains are called third-party cookies.
What are cookies and other tracking technologies?
A cookie is a tiny text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. This helps the website remember your actions and choices, like your login details, language, and font size, so you don’t have to enter them again each time you return or browse different pages. Other tracking tools, like web beacons, pixels, SDK files, and scripts, work similarly to cookies. They also place small data files on your devices to track your activity on the website and help us gather information about how you use our sites. This helps our websites recognize your device from others. The information about cookies below also applies to these other tracking tools.
What distinguishes Session cookies from Persistent cookies?
Session cookies are short-term and help keep user information during one browsing session. In contrast, persistent cookies stay on the user’s device, letting them remember information for several sessions. So, session cookies disappear when the session ends, while persistent cookies last longer.
