If cookies are installed from a device or domain managed by the publisher but the info collected through them is handled by a third party, they can’t be considered first-party cookies.
2.2 Based on the time frame
Session cookies: These are designed to collect and store data while you browse a website. They’re usually used to keep info that’s only needed for the service you requested during your visit (like a list of products you bought).
Persistent cookies: These data stay stored on your device and can be accessed and processed for a set period defined by the cookie owner, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
