TYPES OF ‘COOKIES’

SESSION (OR TRANSIENT) COOKIES
Session cookies are stored in your computer’s memory for the length of your browsing session. They become unavailable after the session has been inactive for a time and are automatically deleted from your computer when the web browser is closed. There main purpose is to allow you to move between pages on a website without having to log in repeatedly.

PERSISTENT (OR PERMANENT) COOKIES
Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s computer memory and are not deleted or removed when the web browser is closed down. They are used to keep your preferences for the website, so they will be recalled the next time you visit the website. They are also used to collate information about the numbers of visitors, the average time spent on a particular page and analyse shopping behaviour on the website. This information is used to find out how the well the website works and where it can be improved.

FLASH COOKIES (OR LOCALLY SHARED OBJECTS)
You probably have Adobe Flash installed on your computer. Websites that contain Flash can also store small amounts of data on your computer that can be used in the same way as cookies are. Flash cookies can also be used to record the data that is stored in other types of cookies. So, when you delete cookies from your browser, your Flash cookies are not affected meaning a website may still identify you if it previously recorded the deleted cookie data into a Flash cookie.

SHARING WITH SOCIAL NETWORKS
If you use the buttons that allow you to share products and content with your friends via social networks like twitter and facebook, these companies may set a cookie on your computer system .
