What are cookies and what are they used for?

Cookies serve a number of purposes like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, interests or log in details, and generally improving your experience.
Cookies are crucial for websites such as this one which include large databases, login functions and customisation features.

Which cookies are used on this site?
miba.mt’s website uses both First-Party Cookies and Third-Party Cookies for an efficient user experience.
Third-Party Cookies are set by a ‘third-party’ website other than miba.mt’s. The third-party website would store a cookie so that the products and features it has integrated into miba.mt’s website can function correctly. Like First-Party Cookies, these Third-Party Cookies may be removed and blocked using one’s browser, however this would limit the user experience.
One example of a third-party cookie source is Google Analytics, which is used by miba.mt’s team to analyse how this website is being used. Google Analytics is an online web analytics service which allows miba.mt to assess which sections of its website are most popular and useful to its visitors. TradeMalta will use this information generated through cookies to continuously update its website according to the needs of its clients and website users.
The cookies used on miba.mt’s website also have varying expiration dates. This depends on whether they are Session Cookies or Persistent Cookies.
Session Cookies only last as long as the browser remains open. These cookies are stored into the web browser’s memory and never written to disk. Once the visitor closes the web browser, this cookie is permanently lost.
Persistent Cookies are created once the visitor first accesses miba.mt’s website or a specific website feature. This cookie is saved to disk and does not expire once the web browser is closed. The cookie is deleted on its specified expiration date. The cookie’s expiration can come after minutes, days or months after its creation or latest update.
The following is a list of cookies being used on miba.mt’s website:
