How are cookis used on a HostedCMS website?
HostedCMS places two cookies on the frontend (internal / 1. party cookies). One for session-id, which is a temporary cookie that is used to connect the visitor to data from the shopping cart, choice of country, customer login etc. This cookie only contain one unique id. The other cookie is a "remember login". The cookie remember the login for the next time the customer visits the website, making it part of good customer service. The two cookies are documented below.
Apart from the internal cookies, HostedCMS have several integrations that use cookies (external / 3. party cookies) e.g. Facebook, Twitter and Google Analytics integrations. HostedCMS can not document the cookies of these integrations. However, you can read further regarding Google Analytics cookies here.
