Cookies are the content that websites store in your browser for various purposes. Using these cookies, sites can save your login sessions, so you don’t have to log in every time you visit a site. Cookies can also save your preferences for a website.
There are two types of cookies that web browsers (including Chrome) support:
- First-party cookies: These are cookies created by the sites you directly visit. These cookies cannot be created until you visit a website on your Chrome.
- Third-party cookies: These are created by websites that don’t directly visit but are loaded from the sites that you visit. A classic example of such websites would be Ad networks which save cookies on your browser to personalize the Ads you see when you visit advertising-supported websites in Chrome.
