What types of cookies are there?

First Party Cookies

First party cookies hosted on the website you are visiting.

However, the owner of that website can still collect data through their cookies and use that to change how the website appears to the user, or the information it displays.

Third Party Cookies

Third party cookies are where the host domain or address is not the same as the website you are visiting. They are usually placed in a website via scripts or tags added into the web page. Sometimes these scripts will also bring additional functionality to the site, such as enabling content to be shared via social networks.

Online advertising is the most common use of third party cookies. By adding their tags to a page, which may or may not display adverts, advertisers can track a user (or their device) across many of the websites they visit.
