Some advertisers use third-party (cross-site) cookies to track your visits to the various websites on which they advertise. Learn more.

Third-party cookies, also known as cross-site cookies, are [[Cookies - Information that websites store on your computer|cookies]] set by a website other than the one you are currently on. For example, cnn<!-- -->.com might have a Facebook like button on their site. The like button will set a cookie that can be read by Facebook. That would be considered a third-party (cross-site) cookie. Some advertisers use these types of cookies to track your visits to the various websites on which they advertise. This is called [[Third-party trackers|cross-site tracking]]. {note}'''Note:''' Cross-site tracking cookies are now disabled by default for all Firefox users. See [[Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop|Enhanced Tracking Protection]] for more information about how Firefox protects you against tracking.{/note} When third-party cookies are disabled, it can stop some, but not all types of tracking.
