What's a cookie?

A cookie is a small file sent from a website, which is then stored by your web browser. When you return to the Personal Area, the information in the cookie can be used to recognize your last session.

Where do cookies come from?

Cookies originate from two types of sources: first party and third party. The classification whether a cookie is 'first' or 'third' party refers to the internet domain that is placing the cookie.

• Third-party cookiesare cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the site being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that site this would be a third party cookie.
