2. Persistent cookies – these are files that make using frequently visited websites more enjoyable and faster. They contain information that creates a website tailored to your preferences and technical parameters of the device and browser. They allow, for example, to adjust and remember the layout of the content that best suits you and is supported by your device, without having to re-select the settings on the next visit (they can be downloaded each time you visit the website). They are saved in the browser’s memory for a longer period of time – specified in the browser settings.
3. Third-party cookies – these are files that contain information from service providers used on the website and companies cooperating with the website owner. These include, for example, advertising and analytical systems, maps or multimedia players. Thanks to them, the advertisements you see are more relevant to your interests, the website owner can examine the effectiveness of their marketing activities, and the multimedia player can remember your previous video playback settings.
