- What are Cookies?
Cookies are minuscule text files that are downloaded to a user’s computer or mobile device when they visit a website. These files enable the website’s server to present pages that are personalized to each user’s preferences and browsing habits.
Furthermore, cookies are pivotal for facilitating key functionalities, such as enabling efficient navigation across different pages of the website, memorizing your settings and preferences, and overall enhancing the quality of your web browsing experience.
For additional information regarding instances in which cookies are utilized to collect your Personal Data, please see the detailed explanations provided later in this document and within our Privacy Policy.
- Difference between first and third-party cookies
Cookies can be classified into two types based on their origin: first-party and third-party cookies.
First-party cookies are created and placed by the website you are directly visiting. They are tied to the domain name that appears in your browser’s address bar. For instance, if the website is https://amicum-capital.com/, only this site can set and access first-party cookies to recognize and remember your preferences or login status when you revisit.
On the other hand, third-party cookies are associated with a domain different from the one you are visiting. They are set by external websites whose services are used or embedded in the main site, such as advertisements, videos, or analytics tools. For example, while browsing a site, cookies from services like Google Analytics, social media widgets (Facebook, Twitter), or advertisement networks may be stored on your device to track your online activities across different sites for analytics, personalized advertising, or social media interactions.
- Difference between session and persistant cookies
Cookies can be classified into session cookies and persistent cookies, each serving different functions based on their duration and purpose.
Session cookies are temporary and are created when you start navigating a website. Their role is to facilitate your experience during that specific visit. They do this by remembering your previous actions on the site within the same session, such as the pages you’ve visited or any selections you’ve made (for instance, choosing a language or adding items to your shopping cart). These cookies are ephemeral and are automatically erased when you close your web browser; they do not collect information from your computer or retain any Personal Data beyond your current visit.
On the other hand, Persistent cookies have a longer lifespan. They are installed on your first visit to a website and are designed to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits. These cookies remain on your device for a set period, determined by the cookie’s expiration date or until you decide to delete them manually. Their purposes can range from remembering your login details, so you don’t have to enter them each time, to tracking your browsing activities over time for analytical reasons, such as understanding how often you return to the site or which pages are most popular. Persistent cookies help website owners gather insights to improve user experience and provide tailored content, but they are not used to collect personal information in a way that identifies you personally.
