2. What Are Cookies

Before explaining our approach, it is important to understand what cookies and similar technologies are.

2.1 Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies typically contain:

The name of the website that created the cookie
A unique identifier (usually a random string of letters and numbers)
An expiration date (some cookies expire at the end of your browsing session, others persist)
Additional data specific to the cookie’s purpose

2.2 Types of Cookies

Cookies are generally categorized by their function and lifespan:

By Function:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for website operation (e.g., shopping cart, authentication)
Performance Cookies: Collect anonymous data about how visitors use a website
Functionality Cookies: Remember user preferences and choices
Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements

By Duration:

Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted

By Origin:

First-Party Cookies: Set by the website you are visiting
Third-Party Cookies: Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting (e.g., analytics providers, advertisers)

2.3 Similar Technologies

Beyond traditional cookies, there are other technologies that can store data or track user behavior:

Local Storage: Browser-based storage that persists data beyond a single session
