Cookies are pieces of data sent by a website and stored in your browser’s memory. Cookies may be required to allow a website to function properly as websites are stateless (they do not remember user information from one internal page to another), but they are sometimes used to track user actions within a website or across multiple websites in order to collect usage information or identify interests and map behavior to serve relevant advertisements. When websites use consent management platforms, they offer you the ability to allow or deny certain categories of cookies that help protect your privacy. Below is a description of the most common cookie categories:
Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies are used to make a website work properly. They are generally not used for tracking and are not shared across websites. The most common necessary action performed using a cookie is user authentication. When you log in to any website, a cookie is stored in your browser containing data used by the website to remember who is authenticated when you navigate to another internal page or refresh the site. Cookies are also used so that a website knows what is in your shopping cart, load balancing information, and more.
First-Party / Preference Cookies
First-party cookies allow the website to remember information to customize the look or behavior of the website for each user. This may include storing selected currency, region, language, or color scheme.
Tracking / Analytics Cookies
Tracking cookies are not necessary, but they are used to gather valuable information about how a website is used, identify issues, and understand what needs to be improved on the site and what content is useful. The information collected is anonymous in most cases, but some analytics services collect information that can be used to identify the user.
