What types of cookies does the Eureka 4WD & Truck Training use?

Cookies may be classified according to:

  • the type of entity that places the cookie on a user’s device
  • the duration the cookies remain on a device, and
  • their purpose.

First-party cookies are those created and placed on the user’s device by the website the user is visiting. These cookies allow the website to personalise the user’s website experience by remembering things like a user’s language or location preferences, usernames or passwords to keep users logged in, contents of a shopping cart, or to manage the performance of the website.

Third-party cookies are placed on a user’s device by a third party, that is not the owner of the website being visited, like an advertiser or an analytic system, for example Google Analytics. This typically occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins or advertising.

Session cookies allow websites to recognise and connect user’s activities during a browsing session. They may be used for a variety of purposes, such as remembering what product you have put in a shopping cart, as well as for security purposes. These cookies expire once you close your browser or after the session ends.

Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device in-between sessions. These allow your activities across various websites to be remembered. This category of cookies includes all cookies that remain on your device until you erase them or, if the cookie has an inbuilt expiration date, your browser will erase these.
