4.2.2.1 Types of cookies
The main types of cookies that websites may use are described below:
Session cookies — These are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your device’s browser only during your visit and are deleted when you close the browser.
Persistent cookies — These remain in the cookie file of your device’s browser even after the browser is closed, sometimes for a year or more (the exact duration depends on the lifetime of each cookie). Persistent cookies are used when the website administrator may need to know who you are for more than one visit (e.g. to remember your username or your preferences regarding the customisation of the website).
First-party cookies — These are cookies installed in your device’s browser and/or hard drive by the website you are visiting. This includes assigning a unique identifier to you for the purpose of tracking your navigation on the website. Website administrators often use first-party cookies for visit management and recognition purposes.
Third-party cookies — These are cookies used by third parties, such as social networks, to track your visits to the various websites on which they advertise. The website administrator has no control over these third-party cookies.
