USE OF COOKIES

Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored in the user's terminal until a predetermined deadline. These, not being deleted directly when the browser is closed, allow you to remember the choices made by the user on your site as well as to collect information about the pages of the site visited, the frequency with which the site is visited and to identify the navigation path of users, in order to improve the experience on the site. Cookies, session or persistent, can finally be first-party or third-party depending on whether the person who installs cookies on the user's terminal is the same manager of the site that the user is visiting (we will then talk about first-party cookies) or a different subject (we will then talk about third-party cookies).
