Cookies
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit or to another website that recognises that cookie due to a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone browser from a website’s computer.
This unique identifier is stored on your device’s hard drive. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. Cookies typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
Cookies do lots of different jobs like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. Without cookies it would be very difficult for a web site to remember the user’s preferences or registration details for a future visit.

Category 4: Targeting Cookies or Advertising Cookies

They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission.
