A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer by your web browser. Cookies were designed to be a reliable way for websites to remember information such as your authentication status, device information such as IP address and operating system, or information previously entered into form fields such as names and addresses.

Cookies that are set directly by a website you visit are called “first-party cookies.” These are generally used to enable core functionality like authentication and session management. Cookies that are set by anyone other than the website you are visiting are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality on or through the website such as interactive content, analytics and advertising. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.
