What are cookies?
A cookie is a small, simple file that is stored on your device in order to, for example, ensure the basic functionality of the website, remember your settings and preferences, and gather statistical data. Different types of cookies exist, with different features and functions, and they might be stored on users’ devices for different timeframes: session cookies are deleted at the end of each browsing session, while persistent cookies may last up to a certain date that has been pre-set by their user.
What is the difference between first-party and third-party cookies?
We differentiate between first-party cookies and third-party cookies. The word “party” refers to the domain as specified in cookie: the website that is placing the cookie. First-party cookies are managed by Munro itself or used on behalf of Munro and refer to Munro’s domain. Third-party cookies are placed by third parties and refer to their domain name. For example: if we embed YouTube movies into our website, such videos will also place third-party cookies that refer to the YouTube domain.
