- Using third-party cookies and advertising data
A cookie is a file containing an identifier that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version.
