What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser, computer or mobile device and can make a user’s experience more efficient. They enable us to track and keep record of your actions within the website as well as certain information you voluntarily provide while visiting the website, such as your email address.

There are different types of cookies based on their purpose, duration and source. Cookies are commonly used to help you resume where you left off, remember your registered login, preferences, and other customization functions.

What are the types of cookies?

First and third-party cookies: Whether a cookie is “first” or “third” party refers to the domain (e.g., accion.org, centerforfinancialinclusion.org) placing the cookie. First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If another entity sets a cookie through a website visited by the user, this would be a third-party cookie.

Persistent and session cookies: Persistent cookies remain on a user’s device for the period specified in the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that particular cookie. Session cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

You can identify the type of a cookie by checking the “Provider” and “Expiry” fields of the table provided in this Cookie Declaration.
