Standard sidebar VS Sticky sidebar

Each template on the website, whether its a page, a single post or an archive template, allows you to optionally use 2 sidebars, which means you can use standard or sticky sidebar only, or combine both.

“Sticky” means that widgets inside this sidebar will always be visible while scrolling through the website content. This can be very useful when you want to point out some important content on your website, for example, advertisements, newsletter forms, social networks, etc… Sticky sidebars may improve user engagement and conversion significantly.
