For example, users' login status can be saved when they visit a shop after several days. Likewise, permanent cookies can measure the "range" of a website (where the users are geographically located) or information on the users' interests. This information is used for marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies that are offered by the original providers (who operate the online store or website) to other parties.
