[Which Salesforce Commerce Product Do I Have?](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.comm_what_product.htm&language=en_US)

Salesforce doesn’t currently provide functionality for end-user cookie consent management. The platform is compatible with many existing third-party solutions. We recommend that you work with your internal IT teams or consult your implementation partners to identify the right solution for your organization’s needs.

Cookies are divided into required, functional, and marketing. Functional cookies include preferences and statistics.

- **Required**: Strictly necessary to browse the website and to use its features.
- **Functional: Preferences**: Used by the website to remember choices made previously. Language settings are an example of a preference type cookie.
- **Functional: Statistics**: Used to collect information about how a website is used, including links clicked and which pages users visited.
- **Marketing**: Used to track online activity for a more personalized experience, including relevant advertisement.
