Session cookies are not permanent - they will expire when you close your web browser or end your session on that website.

Persistent cookies are cookies that are stored on your computer for a certain time after the end of the Internet browsing session, so they allow you to save the user's choices or actions on the website and use them the next time the user visits a website that uses these cookies.

They are necessary to provide the basic functions of the website, that is, to place items in the shopping cart, to ensure the purchase process and to display the specific version of the page. Without these cookies, you will not be able to receive the necessary services and the full functioning of the website will not be possible.

- Performance cookies (long-term, first-party and third-party): These cookies collect information about how visitors use websites, such as which websites they visit most often. The information collected through cookies is mostly aggregated, so direct identification is almost impossible. The information is used only to ensure a better functioning of the website.

The operator of the cookie can use it to build a profile of your interests and display relevant advertisements on other websites. Analytics cookies mostly work by identifying your browser and device.

Segments are created based on some general patterns of visitor behavior and the content of the pages they visit.
