What are cookies?

Also known as browser cookies or tracking cookies, cookies are small, often encrypted text files, located in browser directories. They are used by web developers to help users navigate their websites efficiently and perform certain functions.

Due to their core role of enhancing/enabling usability or site processes, disabling cookies may prevent users from using certain websites.

Cookies are created when a user's browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server.

Computer cookies are created not just by the website the user is browsing but also by other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements on the page being loaded. These cookies regulate how the ads appear or how the widgets and other elements function on the page.

What are the different types of cookies?

Cookies can be classified based on how long they endure, their provenance and what purpose they serve.

Cookies can be classified according to who places them on the website (i.e. their provenance):

  • First-party cookie:their validity is limited to the domain of the website you are browsing.
  • Third-party cookies:are placed using a script from another domain. These allow users to be tracked across domains. They are often used to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising channels.

Depending on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

  • Necessary cookies:These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • Functional cookies:These cookies enable the Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization (for example, by remembering any settings you may have selected). Some of these cookies are managed for us by third parties, including by third-party providers whose services we use on our Website. If you do not allow these cookies, then certain features on the Website may not be available or function properly.
  • Analytics cookies:These cookies collect information about how you use our website—e.g., which pages you visit and if you experience any errors. They allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our websites and content. For example, they help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the website. Some of our analytics cookies are managed for us by third parties. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
  • Advertising cookies:These may collect browsing and activity data on our websites and on third party sites. We use these to help us provide you with more relevant content on our Website and across our digital marketing channels. Some advertising cookies are set by third parties and allow them to track your browser and activity data across our Websites and other websites, which they may use to build a profile of your interests and target ads and content to you across third party sites. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
  • Social media cookies:These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your networks. If you do not allow these cookies, you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

Depending on the duration, cookies can be classified as follows:

  • Persistent cookies:these cookies remain on a user's device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.
  • Session cookies:these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
