ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY REMAIN ENABLED
- Session cookies:
these cookies are designed to collect and store data while the user is visiting a website. They are generally used to store information that only needs to be kept for the service provision requested by the user on one occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and the cookies disappear when the session ends. - Persistent cookies:
the data in these cookies is still stored in the computer or hand-held device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the person who is responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. In this regard, it should be specifically considered whether the use of persistent cookies is necessary, given that privacy risks could be reduced through the use of session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is advisable to reduce their temporary duration to the minimum according to what they are used for. For this purpose, Opinion 4/2012 of GT29 indicated that for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiry date must be related to its purpose. Due to this, session cookies are much more likely to be considered exceptions than persistent cookies.
