There are two broad types of cookies – ‘first party cookies’ and ‘third party cookies’:

3.2 Third party cookies are served by a service provider on behalf of the website operator, and can be used by the service provider to recognise your computer when you visit other web sites. Third party cookies are most commonly used for web site analytics or advertising purposes.
