1. What is a Cookie?

Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies in basic terms are cookies set by a website visited by the user – the website displayed in the URL window. Third party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by you. If you visit a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website this would be a third party cookie.
