What are the different types of cookies?


A cookie can be classified according to its lifespan and the domain to which it belongs.


Depending on its lifetime, a cookie is either:


  • a session cookie  that is deleted when the user closes the browser; or
  • a persistent cookie  that remains on the user's computer/device for a predefined period of time.

With regard to the domains to which they belong, there are two types:


  • First party cookies  : These are cookies set directly by the website or domain the user is visiting.
  • Third-party cookies  : These are cookies set by a domain other than the one the user is visiting.  This typically occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins or advertising.  When the browser or other software fetches these elements from the other sites, they can set cookies as well.
