A cookie and other tracking technologies (e.g. HTTP cookies, Flash cookies, Software Development Kits, Pixels, Plugins, ‘Like’ buttons and social sharing tools, Device Fingerprinting, altogether referred to as ‘cookies’) are typically small text files that can be downloaded on to a device when you visit a website. The device then sends back the cookie to the website on each subsequent visit.

They can be classified depending on how long they endure and their provenance:

Provenance

• First-party cookies: these cookies are set on your device directly by the website you are visiting.
• Third-party cookies: These cookies are placed on your device, not by the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytics system.
