What are Cookies?
Cookies are small files that a Web Browser stores on a computer, mobile device, or any other device used by the user to visit a website. They are stored by the command of that website for its further needs. These needs can vary and depend on the purpose of the cookies; for example, cookies can collect data on the language chosen by the visitor for displaying pages on multilingual sites, the sequence of visited pages to return the user to the pages backwards, the list of items the user added to the cart in an online store, to the IP address of the user, username and password, email address, geolocation, whether the user is on a computer or mobile device, which pages of a website the user visited, etc.
Types of Cookies
Based on duration, cookies can be:
-
Persistent Cookies – these cookies remain on the computer or device after closing the Internet browser. With their help, websites store data such as login name and password, language settings, or cookie settings so the user doesn't have to re-enter them every time they visit.
-
Session Cookies – these cookies are removed from the computer or device upon closing the Internet browser. They help websites store temporary data, like the last few pages the user opened on the website they are visiting or items in the shopping cart.
