How 3rd party cookies track you online

#privacy #onlinetracking #internettracking #internetcookies
When you visit a website that displays ads, understand that the ads are embedded on the website, but hosted on another server (ad server). Cookies set by the website you are currently browsing are first-party cookies. However, the ads displayed, served by ad server also sets a cookie for you. Since this is a cookie set by another website (ad server) you are not directly browsing, the cookie set by the ad server is a “Third-Party cookie”. Third-party cookies are also referred to as “Tracker cookies”.

I am an IT professional (enterprise software architect). This was one of the best explainers of tracking cookies I have ever seen. It was accurate, technically precise enough to give some good info to a technically savvy person, while also concise and clear enough to be understood by the average user. It was fairly in-depth; not superficial at all. Very nicely done!

[@fourzerothree]

Thank you so much. This made my day. My last few videos have not been technical. Your comment makes me want to get back to doing more technical videos again.

[@himanshurane4529]

exactly what I was looking for...after browsing & watching 3+ hrs of content on cookies, this 5 min video explained everything I needed. Thank You

[@fourzerothree]

Very glad you liked it!

[@Gamleur84]

Fast paced, but finally a video that explains it well with examples. Thank you!

[@fourzerothree]

Thank you.

[@Kheneh]

Short and impactful. The graphics helped a lot

[@surajdhakne4340]

I am a publisher and into adtech since 9 yrs, this video is a gem. keep it up.

[@shivamrunthala2165]

Writing my Master's thesis on the cookie less world and this was the best explanation I found. Looking forward to more content on the future of digital advertising and possible substitutes of the cookies.

[@vikneshan.m6967]

The content is so well organized. Very informative. Thanks for your efforts

[@SECYBERSAFE]

Interesting. Your videos are so helpful to those who don't know much about Cybersecurity, it breaks it down the way they should understand. These graphics help a lot.

[@fourzerothree]

Thanks very much for the feedback. Much appreciated!

[@peacefulcat3578]

it's always a random KZbinr that saves the day. But the quality of the animation... it is so great that it's hard to believe you have so little subscribers. Anyway, thanks a lot.

[@JulioRodriguezD]

you got a new subscriber. I work in marketing and getting ready for the cookieless reality and this video explains, in a very easy to understand manner, what a third party cookie is. Well done!

[@yuvrajsingh-gm6zk]

not gonna lie efforts were put into this video!

[@TheStJamesProject]

Thank you for this valuable information. I can always count on KZbin University when I need that right now information.

[@fourzerothree]

I am so glad you found it useful!

[@loaoo2984]

There have been a movement of banning the third-party tracking cookies on popular browers..... Challenging time for marketers..

[@ryuzaki6865]

Definitely one of the best explanations I've seen on KZbin. I have one doubt though, let's say hypothetically I've never visited Facebook, I've not created an account on Facebook, if I visit a webpage that contains one of the widgets of Facebook (like, share buttons) will Facebook still set a cookie with a unique session ID to track my browser activities even though I am not directly registered with Facebook?

[@fourzerothree]

Yes it will. And the moment you create an account in Facebook it will cross track you and know it is you. If you do not have an account in facebook for life, then the purpose of the cookies set by the facebook widget for you is useless. Facebook sets cookies for you so, it can show relevant ads to you on facebook or on any other product that facebook owns like Instagram for example. Hope you get the point.

[@awakenthegreatnesswithin]

Thank you Simple, and straight to the point

[@ebogart42]

Wonderful video - great examples - Thanks! I subscribed

[@eph3672]

3:05 I don't get it. Cross-site cookie spying is blocked by all modern browsers. Why would a browser willingly send any cookie saved on a different website to a doubleclick server?

[@annasad]

Does these cookies track you same way in an IOS platform as well and how about deleting these cookies time to time ? It’s an excellent video. Keep up the good work.

[@jeremiepro1158]

Hi man, very interesting content. I like it. at 4:15 can you explain how FB knows which website have you requested first before running the script ? Is the script specific for each publisher with like a IdKey ?

[@jasonguo7596]

Thank you for the great explanation!

[@GG-vh8kz]

Excellent videos!

[@mariaaladyeva3504]

This is a very good explanation. Thank you!

[@linsqopiring6816]

Why does google even need to track you with cookies when 99.9% of all websites have google analytics which means google knows everything you do on every website anyway?

[@ArjunAnil93]

Good and informative Content 👍

[@grzegorzmolin]

Good design and intro! :)

[@vimalchawla6740]

Too fast. You could hve slowed down and explained it better... slides are very nice

[@ib_concept]

I think if u want relevant intentional info, u should not disable tracking for the internet will be like working for and not against you, like if u disable u will get limited or nonparticipant info, unless u wanna go incognito

[@fourzerothree]

I don't think blocking 3rd party cookies would make a difference.

[@atNguyen-jg5cp]

Very detailed video. Thank you

[@mineknad278]

very good explanation!

[@tirsopalejaro8372]

too fast explanation, don't even manage to understand every section.

[@jaydeepsarnaik7640]

bro, you can pause, think, pause, think and understand

[@this-is-bioman]

How does the advertiser know where the cookie is coming from? If the browser is requesting an ad from a 3rd party it must be sending some information about the website embeding the script, am I correct? I can't see any other way for an advertiser to get this information.

[@linsqopiring6816]

I would guess that website1 has scripts that generate ad links and the webpage being visited is encoded in that link that's sent to the third party domain.

[@Nahtanos]

solid video!

[@smartolawale2534]

Great explanation

[@parkashdeepsingh9269]

I think the content is great however I felt the speed was too fast.

[@gt0703]

Great video

[@mr.scream2934]

so in short would anything bad happen if i blocked all third party cookies?

[@fourzerothree]

Nope!

[@mr.scream2934]

@@fourzerothree thanks man thats like the entire reason i searched this up

Thank you!

[@robertortega8093]

Of course these cookies are needed in order to get quickly to a web site. What is the speed of light and speed of electrical impulse in digital form? Still all sounds pretty wreckless to me by a greedy individual or group of certified law breakers named *******!
