Cookies, depending on their permanence, can be divided into session or permanent cookies. The first ones expire when the user closes the browser. The second ones expire in function when the purpose for which they are served is fulfilled (for example, so that the user remains identified in the websites and services of the web) or when they are cleared manually.
Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies may be classified as follows:
