Freeze ailment

What exactly causes mobs to freeze?
I know you need to deal cold damage but what causes the freeze?

Cold damage
Hitting an enemy with cold damage can cause the enemy to be Chilled. Critical hits with cold damage can also cause the target to be Frozen. Chilled enemies move, attack, and cast 30% slower, while frozen creatures cannot perform any action except drink flasks. Frozen creatures can still block, dodge and evade while frozen.

Burning, Chilled, Frozen, and Shocked are collectively known as Status Ailments.
The duration of the chilled, frozen, and shocked statuses is related to the amount of cold/lightning damage dealt:
Shocked: 276ms per 1% max life dealt as lightning
Chilled: 138ms per 1% max life dealt as cold
Frozen: 100ms per 1% max life dealt as cold

All three are capped at considering 1/3 of max life - if you deal more than 1/3 max life as that element, the status ailment occurs as though you did exactly 1/3.

The maximum unmodified durations are therefore:
Shock: 9.2 seconds
Chill: 4.6 seconds
Freeze: 3.33 seconds

If the duration would be less that 300ms, it's ignored entirely (the effect is not applied).
For characters using Chaos Inoculation, these durations are calculated based on what the character's maximum life would be if they did not have Chaos Inoculation.

One more question, do different ailments stack?
ign-Crevice/Keyed
Yes and no:

You can be chain frozen/chilled as long as you do enough damage fast enough
Shock can be stacked up to three times, iirc
Fire does not stack, it just resets the burn duration

You can be all three of these at once if you do an attack with enough of all three elemental damage types.

Okay so just to be clear, a mob can be shocked and frozen at the same time?
