Yes, the following distinctions of cookies can be made:
A. Session cookies
Session cookies are stored in your computer or device’s memory during your browsing session and are automatically deleted from your computer when you leave a website. These cookies usually store a session ID, allowing you to move from page to page without having to log-in repeatedly. They are widely used by commercial websites; for example, to keep track of items that a consumer has added to a shopping basket. Session cookies do not collect any information from your computer or device, and they expire at the end of your browser session.
B. Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are stored on your computer or device and are not deleted when your browser is closed. Persistent cookies can be used to retain your preferences for a particular website, allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions. Persistent cookies usually assign a unique ID to your browser, and they are usually configured to identify you for a prolonged period of time, from days to months or even years.

D. Analytical/Performance cookies
These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors to our website, thereby assisting us to improve how our website works. We use these cookies, sometimes referred to as ‘web analytics’ information, to collect information about how visitors use our website. This includes details of the site where the visitor has come from, pages viewed, which content visitors are clicking on, which products visitors are interested in and purchase, and at what point a visitor leaves our website. We use this information to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users can easily find what they are looking for.
All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous when used in the aggregate.

E. Functionality cookies
We use these cookies to recognise users when they return to a website. They enable the personalisation of content and remember user preferences (for example, their choice of language or region). We use the information to improve our website and enhance our visitors’ experience.
F. Targeting cookies
These record a user’s visit to a website, the pages visited, and the links followed, thereby tracking a user’s movements which allows behavioural profiles to be created and used for targeted online advertising. These cookies are used to collect information about your browsing habits in order to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. Subject to applicable laws, we may use information obtained from the use of targeting cookies to provide you with advertisements that are tailored to you.
In addition, we may engage third party advertisers and advertising networks to place targeted advertisement cookies. This means that data collected through these cookies will be shared with such parties in order that they can select and serve relevant adverts to you and others. We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregate information about our users to assist them in performing this service. We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target.
