 Web Wallet:: ((("bitcoin wallet", "web")))Web wallets are accessed through a web browser and store the user's wallet on a server owned by a third party.

Offline storage is also often referred to as _cold storage_.

 Another way to categorize bitcoin wallets is by their degree of autonomy and how they interact with the bitcoin network:
