What are the different types of cookies and how do we use them?

When You visit a page with content embedded from third party service providers, for example, these third party service providers may set their own Cookies on Your device. We do not control the use of these third party Cookies and cannot access them due to the way that Cookies work, as Cookies can only be accessed by the party who originally set them. Please check the third party websites for more information about these Cookies.
