For example, such a Cookie can store the content of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. "Permanent" or "Persistent Cookies" are those, which remain stored also after the browser has been closed. Therefore, for example, the login status can be stored when the user returns to the website after several days. In addition, the user's interests can be stored in such a Cookie, which are used for marketing purposes or to measure the range. "Third Party Cookies" are those offered by providers other than the controller operating the online service (otherwise, they are called "First Party Cookies" if they are only his Cookies).
