Some cookies are necessary for website functioning (e.g. the login cookie, cookie for the web store shopping cart content), some are intended to improve the user experience (e.g. storing of user’s preferences) and some are used for monitoring website visits, which helps the website administrator improve the website and the user experience with it.
