I'm a University academic looking for a proper definition of JavaScript Cookies.

I'm trying to decipher what categor(ies) JavaScript cookies fall under, according to Internet Explorer's help.cfm. What I don't understand is where do JavaScript cookies fall under the help.cfm definition.
Maybe I'm not reading "their" English properly? (See below.)
"Persistent - first-party - collect information without permission - ?? "
JavaScript Cookies are persistent. (I set them to expire after 12 hours).
Are JavaScript Cookies first-party? They are strictly client-side, but could be collected server-side with PHP.
If I set IE privacy settings to "High", they won't work; they will work on medium-high.
What I don't understand is where do JavaScript cookies fall under the help.cfm definition.
Maybe I'm not reading "their" English properly?
