E.g. you may ask a site to remember your login name – that information is then stored in the cookie, so on your next visit the website displays your name in the login field.

This cookie can only be read by our site; the information that the cookie contains cannot be accessed or read by any other website.
Third party – this type of cookie is issued by a website other than the one you are currently visiting. E.g. when visiting a site that displays advertising, that advertising company could issue you with a cookie, which is known as a third party cookie.
