What Are Cookies?
Cookies are commonplace, normal, and harmless. A cookie is a tiny text document, which usually includes an anonymous unique identifier.

Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but to protect your privacy your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies that originate from their sites. We have no access or control over those cookies.
