2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information about website usage.

Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Imos Pizza — are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the server that placed the cookie
