Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember if you've been to the website before. Cookies can store your preferences and other information to save you time, enable the website to function properly, and make the interaction between you and the website more efficient.

2.1 Types of Cookies Based on Lifespan

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable websites to recognize you as you navigate between pages.

Also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs," web beacons are small transparent image files that can be used to track user behavior and collect data about website visitors.

HTML5 local storage allows websites to store data on your device in a way that's similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity and without the data being sent to the server with every request.

Similar to local storage but the data stored in session storage is cleared when the page session ends (when you close the browser).

A technique that collects and analyzes information about your device, such as your browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and installed plugins, to create a unique "fingerprint" for identification purposes.
