What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on a user's device (such as a computer or mobile phone) to remember information about the user and their preferences. Cookies are commonly used to personalize a user's experience on a website, such as remembering their login information or their shopping cart contents.
There are several types of cookies on the internet, including:
1. First-party cookies: These are cookies that are set by the website that the user is visiting. They are used to remember user preferences and settings.
2. Third-party cookies: These are cookies that are set by third-party websites or services. They are often used for tracking and advertising purposes.
3. Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that are only stored in the user's browser memory during a browsing session. They are deleted when the user closes their browser.
4. Persistent cookies: These are cookies that are stored on the user's device for a longer period of time, often for multiple browsing sessions. They can be used for remembering user preferences and settings.
5. Secure cookies: These are cookies that are only transmitted over HTTPS connections and are therefore more secure.
6. HttpOnly cookies: These are cookies that are only accessible through HTTP requests, making them more secure against cross-site scripting attacks.
It becomes scary if the data stored or shared with a third-party company get compromised and can be used in the wrong ways.
According to European Union (EU) laws you are required to give EU visitors information about cookies used on your website and in some cases, you are required to obtain user consent.
