A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used across the web to help websites function more effectively and provide a more personalized experience for users. Think of cookies as a memory tool for websites—allowing them to remember things about your visit, such as your preferences, login information.

1. Types of cookies

Cookies are essential for websites to provide many basic functionalities, and they enhance your overall experience by making websites more responsive to your needs.

Types of Cookies

Session Cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted once you close your browser. These cookies help websites track your actions as you move from page to page, but they don’t store any personal information and disappear when the session ends. For example, they might remember items you’ve added to your cart as you browse an online store
Persistent Cookies. Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies remain on your device even after you close your browser. These cookies can store information for a longer period, depending on the expiration time set by the website. Persistent cookies help remember your preferences (such as language settings) for future visits or retain your login information, so you don’t have to enter it again.
First-Party Cookies. These are cookies that are set by the website you’re currently visiting. They are often used to provide a more seamless user experience, such as remembering items in your cart, displaying personalized content, or keeping you logged in as you browse.
Third-Party Cookies. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you’re visiting. These cookies are typically used for tracking users across multiple websites, often for advertising purposes. For example, an advertiser may use third-party cookies to track your browsing behavior and display targeted ads based on your interests.

2. Why are cookies used?

Cookies serve various purposes, depending on the type of cookie being used. Below are the most common reasons why websites rely on cookies:

Enhancing Website Functionality: Many cookies are essential for websites to work correctly. They allow you to navigate through pages, log in securely, and use basic features like shopping carts.
Storing Preferences: Cookies help websites remember user preferences, such as language settings, theme choices, or font size adjustments. This saves time and enhances your user experience during repeat visits.
Targeted Advertising: Advertisers use cookies to deliver personalized ads that align with your interests. Based on your previous browsing history, cookies can show you ads for products or services that you’re likely to be interested in, enhancing the relevancy of online ads.
Improving Security: Some cookies are used to detect and prevent security risks, such as unauthorized logins or suspicious activity, ensuring that your online experience is safe and secure.

3. Are cookies safe?

Cookies are generally safe and do not pose any immediate risk to your privacy or security. They do not contain viruses, malware, or spyware, and they cannot access any information stored on your device. However, because cookies store data about your browsing habits, some people may view them as a potential privacy concern, particularly third-party cookies that track your activity across multiple websites.

4. Managing cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. This gives you control over what types of cookies you allow or block. While most cookies are harmless and help improve your experience, you may choose to disable or restrict cookies, particularly those used for tracking or advertising.

Keep in mind that disabling cookies, especially first-party cookies, may affect how some websites function, potentially limiting your access to certain features or requiring you to log in repeatedly.
