What are cookies?
This website uses cookies to collect user data. A cookie is a small piece of text that is usually sent from a web server and stored on your computer by your web browser. That cookie is sent back and forth between your computer and the web server, allowing it to match requests to a particular user or device.
What kinds of cookies are there?
Cookies can be first-party or third-party:
- First-party cookies are created by the server for the website you are visiting, and are only accessible on the same website.
- Third-party cookies are created by other servers that the website owners are using to provide an external service, for example performance tracking, targeted advertising or embedding a Youtube video. These cookies are accessible on any website that uses the same third-party service, which means they may enable cross-site tracking by the third party.
Cookies can also be classified by how long they exist on your computer. They may:
- have a set expiration date,
- exist only for the duration of a session, or
- persist in your browser storage forever unless you manually delete them.
Cookies are also classified by their purpose:
- Essential: Strictly necessary for the website to provide basic functionality.
- Functional: Enhance the functionality of the website and provide personalized features.
- Performance: Gather usage data to provide analytics for website owners to understand how their websites are being used.
- Targeting: Gather user data to display targeted advertisements and measure their performance across the web.
