An essential cookie, also known as a strictly necessary cookie, is a cookie that is needed for the proper functioning of your website.
For example, an essential cookie remembers a user’s log-in information or keeps track of shopping cart items.
These cookies typically do not require user consent to use, as not deploying them might literally cause the website or platform to not function properly.
Essential cookies may also help with enhancing security, storing user preferences, and facilitating communication between the user and the website or platform owner.
Under laws like the GDPR, you can still use essential cookies on your website without getting cookie consent.
