Types of Cookies used
Essential Cookies (Session)
An 'essential cookie' is the most common used and for example is used in the 'shopping cart' functionality where it helps to save items as you progress through a site and are not forgotten when you reach the 'checkout'. These cookies are deleted when you leave the site.
Non-Essential Cookies (Persistent Cookies)
Another example of common practice is authentication, this remembers your 'log-in' details when re-visiting a website. Other possible features include language selection, menu preferences, internal site bookmarks or favourites, amongst many others.
