The type of cookies used on most websites can generally be put into 1 of 4 categories, based on the International Chamber of Commerce guide to cookie categories. They are: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functionality and Targeting, which are explained as follows:
 

• Strictly necessary cookies - These cookies enable services you have specifically asked for - no consent is required. These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the Website.
• Performance cookies - These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how the Website works.
• Functionality cookies - These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) to improve your experience and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. Without them, we can’t learn how our website is performing and make relevant improvements that could better your browsing experience.
• Targeting or advertising Cookies - These cookies are used to tailor marketing to you and your interests.

They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Although these cookies can track your visits to other websites, they don’t usually know who you are. Without these cookies, the online advertisements that appear will be less relevant to you and your interests.
