During the browsing on a website, the user may receive on his/her terminal also cookies of different websites or webservers (so called third-party cookies); this happens because the visited websites contain items such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other websites that are hosted on a server other than the one on which the requested page is hosted. In other words, these are cookies that are set by a website different from the one that the User is currently visiting.
The cookies may be limited to a single browsing session (so called session cookies) and, in such case, they automatically disable when the User closes the browser. Some other cookies may have a pre-set expiry date and, in such case, they will remain stored and active in the User’s hard-disk until such expiry date, continuing to collect information in the course of the subsequent browsing sessions (so called permanent cookies).
Cookies are used for different purposes. Some of them are used to allow the user to visit a website and use its features (so called technical cookies).
