Cookies are very small text files stored on your computer by your web browser at the request of a website.
They can be likened to a 'sticky note' which can only be read by the website that asked your web browser to save it. A website can not read a cookie from another website.
Cookies usually contain no more than a code or short text. They do not hold any personally identifiable information.

These are cookies used by websites that produce content that is used in other websites; for example a YouTube™ video, or Flikr™ image. Some advertisiers also use 3rd party cookies to show adverts tailored to things they think that you like.
