They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They can be divided into:
– navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); they are in fact necessary for the correct functioning of the site;
