How Cookies and Tracking Technologies Improve Website Experience

Cookies are small data files placed on a user’s device by websites to optimize performance and enhance user experience. These files remember information, like language preferences, and make websites more efficient by storing and recalling this information.

Session Cookies: Session cookies are temporary and last only for the duration of a user’s visit to a website. As soon as the user closes their browser, these cookies are deleted. They are primarily used to manage the user’s session, ensuring a personalized experience during the visit.
Persistent Cookies: Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device even after the browsing session ends. They remain there until their expiration date or until the user deletes them. These cookies are essential for remembering language preferences, and other settings, which means users don’t have to re-enter their details every time they visit the website.
Web Beacons: Web beacons, or pixel tags, are invisible graphics embedded within a webpage to track user interactions with specific content. Unlike cookies, web beacons don’t store any data on the user’s device but send information back to the server regarding how the content was accessed and engaged with.
Flash Cookies: Flash cookies, also called Local Shared Objects, are used for gathering data on how users interact with multimedia content such as videos and advertisements. Flash cookies help improve the performance and interactivity of multimedia features, ensuring smoother playback and better user engagement.
Pixels: Pixels are small pieces of code embedded into websites or emails to track user interactions and behaviors. These pixels help marketers understand how users are engaging with specific elements of a website, such as whether they clicked on a link or opened an email.
