Since a web site can only receive its own cookies, it can keep learn about your activities while you are at that site but not your activities in general while surfing the Web.
<p>But sometimes one web site displays content that is hosted on another web site. That content can be anything from an image to text or an advertisement. In such cases, the second web site also has the ability to store a cookie in your browser, even though you did not visit that site directly.
<p>Cookies that are stored by the site other than the one you
think you are visiting are called <b>foreign cookies</b> or <b>third-party cookies.</b> If you
want, you can adjust your preferences so that sites can store ordinary cookies only but not foreign ones.
