The website cookies you should accept (and the ones always to avoid), according to a scientist

Website cookies are little files of information that a webpage tells your computer to store, and then access later. There are three types of web cookies: session cookies, persistent cookies, and third-party cookies. Session cookies only last while you have that webpage open. Persistent cookies, also known as first-party, permanent or stored cookies, don’t go away so easily. These cookies remember your preferences, such as login information, language selections and bookmarks.
