Let's talk about cookies today. These are small files that a web page asks the computer to save for later access. There are three types of them: session, permanent and extraneous. The former are saved while you have this web page open. Quite often they use, for example, an online store remembers that you put goods in the basket.
Other cookies do not disappear so easily. They remember your login details, language selection, and bookmarks. You can block them, however some websites may not work properly then.
And the last cookies are the most insidious. They are used to track your online activities: what you click, what product you buy, likes and dislikes. The data from these files can be secretly sold by websites to marketing companies, who then use them for personalized advertising.
You can block all third-party cookies in your browser. Then you won't see personalized ads.
