Some advertisers use these types of cookies to track your visits to the various websites on which they advertise. If you are concerned about this, you can disable third-party cookies in Firefox.

Note: Disabling third-party cookies in Firefox can stop some types of tracking by advertisers, but not all. If you are concerned about tracking, see also How do I turn on the Do Not Track feature? and What happened to Tracking Protection?Content blocking.
