Cookie Basics

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows searchforsites or a third party to recognize you using a unique identifier.

Who sets them: First-party cookies are set by searchforsites. Third-party cookies are set by companies other than searchforsites, such as analytics providers and advertisers.

What they do: “Essential” cookies enable services we offer. “Non-essential” cookies help us understand how our services are being used (i.e., analytics) and deliver advertisements. Some cookies may track you across multiple websites you visit (including ones not operated by us) to help deliver advertisements that may be relevant to you.

How long they last: Cookies may be either “session” or “persistent.” A session cookie expires (i.e., is deleted) when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains until it expires or you delete the cookies via your browser settings. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves and may vary in length, depending on the purpose of the cookie.
