KEY CONCEPTS
First and third-party cookies: Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie.
First-party cookies: First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by www.connectingmed.com).

Third-party cookies: are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.

Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie.

Session cookies: These cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when the user closes the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
