Below is the ICO's (Information Commissioner's Office) Terminology and Definitions of Cookies
Terminology and Definitions
The Regulations apply to cookies and also to similar technologies
for storing information. This could include, for example, Local
Shared Objects (commonly referred to as Flash Cookies), web beacons
or bugs (including transparent or clear gifs).
A cookie is a small file, typically of letters and numbers, downloaded
on to a device when the user accesses certain websites. Cookies
allow a website to recognise a user's device.
For more information see: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/
Session and persistent cookies
Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (from when
a user opens the browser window to when they exit the browser)
or they can be stored for longer. The Regulations apply to both
types of cookies:
Session cookies
Allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser
session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering
what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around
a site. They could also be used for security when a user is accessing
internet banking or to facilitate use of webmail. These session
cookies expire after a browser session so would not be stored
longer term. For this reason session cookies may sometimes be
considered less privacy intrusive than persistent cookies.
Persistent cookies
Are stored on a users’ device in between browser sessions
which allows the preferences or actions of the user across a site
(or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered.
Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including
remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a
site or to target advertising.
First and third party cookies
Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’
party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First
party cookies in basic terms are cookies set by a website visited
by the user - the website displayed in the URL window. Third party
cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one
being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate
company sets a cookie through that website this would be a third
party cookie.
Subscriber
This means a person who is a party to a contract with a provider
of public electronic communications services for the supply of
such services. In this context the person who pays the bill for
the internet connection (that is, the person legally responsible
for the charges)
User
This means any individual using a public electronic communications
service. In this context a user would be the person sat at a computer
or using a mobile device to browse the internet.
Terminal equipment
The device a cookie is placed on – usually a computer or
mobile device
