They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas). Technical session cookies have a duration equal to the single browsing session and are therefore automatically deleted at the end of the browsing session.
