“Cookies” (also known as “http cookies,” “web cookies,” or “browser cookies”) are simply small pieces of data stored in text files on your computer when you visit certain websites. Their typical purpose is to allow websites to remember specific actions you took in the past. For example, cookies may track when you logged into a website, when you visited specific web pages, or clicked certain buttons.
Cookies set by the website owner are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies created by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” “Third-party cookies” allow the provision of features or functions from third-party websites on the website or through the website (e.g., advertising features and content, videos, and website analytics services).
