Based on duration
Session cookies
These cookies allow user's actions to be simplified and linked to each other during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser screen and ends when the user closes the browser screen. Session cookies are placed temporarily. As soon as you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted. Most functional cookies are session cookies.
Persistent cookies
These cookies remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date.
Based on provenance
First-party cookies
These cookies are placed by the owner of the visited website.
Third-party cookies
These cookies are placed by a domain name other than the one of the website visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a third-party places a cookie through that website, then this is to be considered a third-party cookie (e.g. cookies placed by Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook).
Based on processing purpose
Strictly necessary cookies

Analytical cookies (or “measurement cookies”)
These cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you.
