Cookies that expire at the end of a browser session (normally when a user exits their browser) are called ‘session cookies’. These cookies can be used for security purposes, such as when a user logs into an account and will expire when the session ends.

Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one the user is visiting. This usually occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plug-ins or advertising. When the browser or other software fetches these elements from the other sites, they can set cookies also.
