Ask your grandparents what cookies are, and you’ll probably be told they are tasty treats made from flour, sugar, butter, and a few other ingredients. Ever since 1994, however, the term has taken on a completely different meaning related to the internet. In that year, a 23-year-old American programmer named Lou Montulli invented the cookie. Fast-forward to the present day, and cookies have become not only commonplace but also a subject of growing concern, particularly third-party ones.
Cookies in the digital age have a few different names: internet cookies, web cookies, browser cookies, or just cookies. In the most basic terms, a cookie is a piece of text that contains some personal information about a user, such as log-in details or shopping cart contents. One type of cookie is called a first-party cookie. These are designed to make the user’s experience of a website smoother and more enjoyable. Generated by the website being visited, first-party cookies allow things like sign-in data to be automatically filled and language preferences to be retained from visit to visit. Without first-party cookies, visitors to websites would need to input information again and again every single time they visit a site.
On the other hand, third-party cookies are not created by the website a person visits but by other websites, or “third parties.” These are typically used for monitoring users’ online activity and building detailed profiles based on those patterns. Unlike first-party cookies, which improve user experience, third-party cookies are intended to help advertisers better target consumers. This is why individuals will often see ads that feature products related to their online searches.
