Session and permanent cookies

Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (the period between the user opening a browser window and closing it) or they can be kept for a longer period of time.

Session cookies – allow websites to link a user's actions during a browser session. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends and are therefore not kept for long. For this reason, session cookies can be considered less intrusive from a privacy point of view than permanent cookies.

Persistent cookies – are stored on a user's device between browser sessions and allow the user's preferences or actions to be memorized with respect to a site (or in some cases with respect to different websites).

Proprietary cookies and third-party cookies

There are two types of cookies :

Owners are the cookies set by the visited domain.

Third Parties are cookies set by a domain other than the one visited by the user. We speak of a third-party cookie if a user visits a website and a third-party company sets a cookie through that site.
