A technical cookie is a cookie strictly necessary for the site to function properly.

Session cookie

A session cookie for a website only exists whilst the user is reading or navigating the website. When the user closes their web browser these cookies are usually removed. Some browsers may implement a "continue from last time" feature that will save session cookies even after closing the browser.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are cookies set on the same domain (or its subdomain) as your browser's address bar.

Third-party cookies are cookies set on domains different from the one shown on the address bar. The web pages on the first domain may feature content from a third-party domain, e.g. an embedded multimedia content, social network plugins, interactive maps or ads. Third party cookies can generally track and profile your web activity and the geographic location of your device to send you personalized content and advertising messages. Some third parties may also use first party cookies for the same purposes.
