Same-Site Cookies: These cookies have an attribute that restricts when they are sent to the server. They can be set to only send cookies in same-site requests (requests originating from the same domain), which helps mitigate certain types of cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the basic functioning of a website. They don't require user consent and are typically used for tasks like maintaining session information, remembering shopping cart contents, or ensuring security during online transactions.
