What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data sent from a website and stored on your computer by your web browser while you are browsing. They are designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember information about your visit or to record your browsing activity. This can include details like your preferences for a site, items in your shopping cart, or even your login information, so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit the site. Cookies can also be used to gather data about your browsing habits, which can be used for advertising purposes, making the ads you see more relevant to your interests. They play a crucial role in enhancing and personalizing the user experience on the web, making it more convenient and tailored to your preferences. However, they can also raise privacy concerns, as they track your behavior across the internet. Despite this, they are an integral part of how the web works today, facilitating smoother interactions between users and websites.

 

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for a variety of reasons that all boil down to making both the user’s experience and the functionality of websites more efficient and personalized. When you visit a website, cookies help the site remember you and your preferences. This means that if you set a website to display in a certain language, choose a theme, or log in to an account, the website can use cookies to remember these choices for your next visit, so you don’t have to make them again. This convenience extends to online shopping carts, where cookies keep track of the items you’ve added, allowing you to come back later and find your selections still waiting for you.

Beyond personalizing your web experience, cookies are used by website owners to gather insights about the site’s usage. They can track how users navigate through their site, which pages are most popular, and what paths lead to sales or sign-ups. This information is invaluable for making websites more user-friendly and tailored to the needs and interests of their visitors.

Cookies and Their Functionality

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when you visit a website. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

Here’s a deeper dive into the different types of cookies and related technologies:

Session Cookies:

Session cookies are a type of temporary cookie that websites use to remember your actions during the time you spend on the site. Unlike other cookies that can stay on your device for a set period, session cookies last only as long as your browsing session. This means they are deleted from your computer or device as soon as you close your web browser.

Persistent Cookies:

Persistent cookies, unlike session cookies which disappear after you close your browser, are designed to last for a predetermined duration on your device. These cookies remain stored in your browser until they expire or until you decide to delete them. Their main role is to remember your preferences and actions over time, making subsequent visits to a website more personalized and convenient.

Third-party Cookies:

Third-party cookies are cookies set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting. Unlike first-party cookies, which are set by the website you’re directly interacting with, third-party cookies come from a different domain and are often used for cross-site tracking, advertising, and analytics.

Tracking Cookies:

Tracking cookies are a type of cookie designed to monitor your activities online across different websites. Their primary purpose is to collect data on your browsing behavior, such as the websites you visit, the products you show interest in, and the ads you click on.
