Session cookies, also known as 'temporary cookies', help websites recognise users and the information they provide when navigating a website. Session cookies only keep information about a user's activities for as long as they are on the website. Once the web browser is closed, it deletes the cookies.
Permanent cookies, also known as 'persistent cookies', remain in operation even after the web browser has closed. For example, they can remember login details and passwords, so web users don't need to re-enter them every time they use a site.
The website (i.e. domain) installed directly first-party cookies the user is visiting (i.e. the URL shown in the browser's address bar). These cookies enable website owners to collect analytics data, remember language settings, and perform other valuable functions that provide a good user experience.
Third parties install third-party cookies to collect certain information from web users to research, for example, behaviour, demographics or spending habits. They are commonly used by advertisers who want to ensure that products and services are marketed towards the right target audience.
