A cookie created by the domain the user is currently visiting.

First-party cookies are set directly by the website a user interacts with and persist only for that domain. Common uses include remembering language preferences, tracking items added to a shopping cart between sessions, and collecting analytics data about user behaviour on the site. Because they originate from the same domain the user intentionally navigated to, first-party cookies are generally considered less privacy-invasive than third-party cookies and remain supported across most browsers.
