Synopsis
A cookie is a tiny file dropped by a browser onto a computer's hard drive when visiting a site. These cookies record interactions, such as clicks and sign-ins, without collecting personal data. When entering a web address, the browser searches for existing cookies associated with that site. Some cookies expire automatically, while others may remain longer. They serve various functions, including remembering user preferences and creating an anonymous profile based on browsing patterns. Advertisers use these profiles for targeted advertising, which does not identify users personally but aims to deliver relevant ads. Third-party cookies, set by advertisers on visited sites, can share internet usage information with other organizations. Users can manage these cookies and their tracking preferences by using tools like Ghostery, a free privacy tool that helps identify and control cookie settings.
