Cookies can be classified as either ‘session’ or ‘persistent’, depending on how long they last after they are placed on your browser. 

Session cookies: session cookies last for as long as you keep your browser open. They expire when you close your browser.

Some (but not all) browsers enable you to restrict the use of web beacons by either preventing them from sending information back to their source (for example, when you choose browser settings that block cookies and trackers), or by not accessing the images containing them (for example, if you select a ‘do not display images (in emails)’ setting in your email server).
