WHAT ARE COOKIES
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on computers – and any other device used to browse the internet such as a tablet, smartphone or mobile phone – to hold browsing information and user preferences.
TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies can be classified as follows:
Session cookies: these have a limited duration and are removed as soon as when the user closes the browser after a visit to the site;
Persistent cookies: these cookies remain in the device used to browse the internet for a specified amount of time. These typically have an expiration date and the time they remain on the device will vary depending on the kind of cookies;
Based on their purpose, cookies can also be either:

Profiling cookies (they are used to track user navigation and create a profile of their habits which can then be used to send advertising messages to the user’s device).
Finally, it is possible to draw a distinction between:
First party cookies (cookies that are sent by the website being visited) Third party cookies (cookies that are sent by third parties via the website being visited)
