There are different types of cookies
First party cookies
These are set by the website you’re visiting. And only that website can read
them. In addition, a website might use a separate company to analyse how people
are using their site. And this separate company will set their own cookie to do
this.
Third party cookies
These are set by someone other than the owner of the website you’re visiting.
Some DXMAPS web pages may also contain content from other sites like Google,
which may set their own cookies. Also, if you Share a link to a DXMAPS page, the
service you share it on (e.g. Facebook) may set a cookie on your browser.
DXMAPS has no control over third party cookies.
Advertising cookies
Some websites use advertising networks to show you specially targeted adverts
when you visit. These networks may also be able to track your browsing across
different sites.
We do not use first party advertising cookies but Google advertising shown in
DXMAPS site could track your browsing outside DXMAPS.
Session cookies
These are stored when you login and while you’re browsing. In order to

Persistent cookies
These are saved on your computer. So they don’t get deleted when you close
your browser.
We use persistent cookies when we need to know who you are for more than one
browsing session. For example, we use them to remember your preferences for the
next time you visit.
Some sites use things like web beacons, clear GIFs, page tags and web bugs to
understand how people are using them and target advertising at people.
They usually take the form of a small, transparent image, which is embedded
in a web page or email. They work with cookies and capture data like your IP
address, when you viewed the page or email, what device you were using and where
you were. There's info about how to avoid them here.
