What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files that contain small amounts of information and are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. These cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit (first-party cookies) or to another website that recognizes the cookie (third-party cookies). Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device. They serve many purposes, such as enabling efficient navigation between pages, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your user experience. They also help ensure that the advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
Based on their function and intended purpose, there are four categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functionality cookies, and advertising cookies.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for navigating a website and using its features. Without these cookies, the services you have requested cannot be provided, such as remembering your login details or previous actions (like entered text) when returning to a page without logging out.
Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for example, which pages are visited most often and if users receive error messages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor; all information is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Their sole purpose is to improve website functionality.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow a website to remember your choices (such as your username, language, or geographic location) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, a website may offer localized information by storing the region you are currently in. Functionality cookies may also be used to deliver services you have requested, such as watching a video. The information these cookies collect may be anonymous and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver content or advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember whether you have visited a website or not, and this information may be shared with other organizations. Advertising cookies are often linked to site functionality provided by other organizations.
