Which type of cookies are typically used to track users' information and behavior during online sessions?

Tracking cookies are specifically designed to collect and analyze users' information and behavior as they navigate through websites. These cookies can follow users across multiple sessions and websites, enabling marketers and advertisers to build detailed profiles based on browsing habits, preferences, and interests.

Tracking cookies are different from other types of cookies, such as session cookies, which are used to maintain state while a user is actively engaged with a site, or persistent cookies that remain on a device for a set period even after the session ends. Authentication cookies are specifically for verifying user identity during a session. In contrast, tracking cookies focus primarily on long-term user tracking for behavioral insights rather than just maintaining session continuity or user login states.
