How can cookies be categorized?
Depending on whether one takes into account their owner (or operator), the purpose they serve, or their
duration, cookies can be categorized in a number of ways. According to the relevant owner or operator, cookies
can be broadly classified into two groups based on whether they are installed on the website you are viewing by
the site owner (referred to as “First-party cookies“) or by outside parties (referred to as
“Third-party cookies“). First-party cookies are directly under the Site Owner’s control, while
third-party cookies are under the control of their respective owners and operators, who are required to include
sufficient opt-out options in their privacy policies. -
Depending on the intended use, cookies can be categorized as follows:

(e.g. A g. the site’s language) to enhance the user’s experience (“functionality cookies“).
The user is free to delete first-party technical cookies from their browser, but their use does not require their prior consent. - Analytical cookies: these gather data about the quantity and usage patterns of users on the
website (e.g. A g. which pages receive the most visits.
