This allows websites and servers to distinguish your browser from other browsers that store separate cookies, and to recognize each browser based on its unique cookie ID.

Types of cookies: technical, profiling, third-party
Definition of technical cookies according to the Privacy Guarantor

Example of technical cookie: the session cookie installed to maintain the login.
Definition of profiling cookies according to the Privacy Guarantor

Example of profiling cookies: let's say that while browsing a site you do a search for gym shoes and a cookie containing that query is installed on your browser. If, following the search, a software/plugin installed on the site uses that information to offer you relevant advertising, such as that of sports equipment, or shoes in general, the one installed is a profiling cookie.
Definition of third-party cookies according to the Privacy Guarantor

That is, it is necessary to take into account the different subject that installs cookies on the user's terminal. Depending on whether it is the same manager of the site that the user is visiting, which can be briefly indicated as the publisher, or a different site that installs cookies via the first, so-called third parties.
Example of third-party cookies: cookies installed by social buttons such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc., Google Analytics cookies, cookies installed by the implementation of Youtube video iframes, etc.; these are all third-party cookies
