Third-Party Cookies - Web Browsers
If you go to a Web site that hosts online advertising from a third-party vendor, the vendor can place a cookie on your computer. If another Web site also has advertising from the third-party vendor, then that vendor knows you have visited both Web sites. Nothing malicious has occurred, but the advertising company can determine all the sites you have been to if the sites have cookies. This is a privacy concern. Here's how to disable third-party cookies in your web browser to prevent this from happening.
