What different types of cookies are there?
Cookies are typically divided into the following categories:

First-party cookies: first-party cookies are such cookies that are set by the website which is being visited by the user, i.e. cookies placed by OSRAM when you visit an OSRAM website.

Third-party cookies: third-party cookies are cookies which are placed by a domain other than the website which is being visited by the user.

Session cookies: session cookies are only active during a browser session. They allow to link the actions of a user during a browser session. Session cookies expire when you close the browser or shortly thereafter.
