How cookies can track you (Simply Explained)

[@TheLeoachu]

This is the best video I watched on KZbin explaining cookies.

[@howchen8529]

Good explanation! Learned cookie in uni web course but didn't understand how cookies could track you because of the domain scope restrictions...This makes it clear

[@minsupark9246]

Man, this just opened my eyes !!! Thank you so much for your amazing simple but clear understanding video!! YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER!

[@ElvinByrd]

Crisp, smart way of explaining, necessary and sufficient information. That was helpful. Thank you.

[@orien758]

Simple explanation. Great information in a short video. Keep it simple as usual. Thanks.

[@LEAPPOV]

I've been watching your videos recently. They are very helpful and simplifed. Thank for great contents!

[@GauravPatel87]

To add to our privacy protection, modern browsers like chrome and firefox have settings that automatically clear cache and cookies when we close the browser, so next time when we open a website, it's all fresh.

[@simplyexplained]

Yes and besides these they are also adding protection against fingerprinting. This technique doesn't require cookies and is actually used more and more!

[@ClarkHolder-o2k]

Appreciate the non-fluff straightforward approach. Was a great review for me. Thank you!

Very good explanation, as always! Thanks a ton!

[@RV-kl2wl]

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain-- cookies

[@StAlfonzo87]

Nice explanation. The question I'm left with is how much information is available in these tracking cookies? Like, how bad can the invasion of privacy get?

[@uploder247]

Just block third party cookies.

[@blizzardengle]

Great job with the video! And thank you for the CC. I'm sharing this with my students.

[@henryhargraves4184]

Not surprised , that something was invented to be convenient turned into something that abuses privacy.

[@mceisen9930]

Thanks for this good content! Quality over quantity that´s your theme quote :D

[@nathanmciver6496]

Yeah wow! I remember when credit scores faded out just as fast as the problem was fixed! When do people stay steady?

[@DutchwithTomasito]

Great video. Most easy to understand explanation I've seen so far, thanks!!

[@mickey5370]

Hey there Savjee...I'm curious as to who creates/edits your videos? And which program is used for the animated graphics? Thx and keep up the beautiful video content. We appreciate you

[@simplyexplained]

I make them myself. One man channel ;)

[@mickey5370]

That's awesome - kudos! What are your tools of choice?

[@Hexoindiaplus]

Mickey San Miguel 4c

[@ThamaraiselvamT]

So private windows are fresh start so no cookies hence other can't track you. (unless you login Facebook or Google). Amazing explanation. Thanks😊

[@maheshgvp7735]

I had this doubt for a long time, how the hell can facebook/google track our habits and show relevant ads. Today I got the answer, thanks

[@Irapa7]

Now KZbin has a cookie from me that shows I want to know what cookies are lol great video!

[@v3le]

Ghostery privacy ad blocker says: don't trust anybody, except us!

[@marscoding]

Very good video. I watched some other video explain cookies but they only say third party cookies, not how third party cookies work make me confusing

[@TysonHorner-up1nq]

Really clever explanation and no unnecessary verbiage! Respect! + subscription

[@this-is-bioman]

Unfortunately this still doesn't explain how a 3rd party cookie knows where it's coming from. I understand that it's being send to another address, but how does the 3d party know the source of the cookie? Is the browser sending some kind of a refferal together with the cookie? I cannot imagine any other way for them to find out about the website I'm on.

[@DjNemes1s]

Brilliant explanation, thanks! Looking forward to seeing more of your vids!

[@WilliamSkimming]

This is good as it covers how the 3rd party process works and what defines a 'good user experience' ...I like it.

[@Arsenalboy77]

Thanks for the vid, perfect explanation. Just one thing can you make a video about JavaScript and how to use it for security?

[@ameeraalmomani7244]

Simply explained indeed 👍 Thanks!. Very beneficial, I'm glad I found your channel👍

[@alandmcleod5988]

Excellent vid. Only watched it once and completely understood everything! well presented

[@rwingender]

Nicely done. It would have been good to explain what cookies store in an ecomm site.

[@NoOne-ev3jn]

Nice explanation that as a developer was looking for to wrap my head around this tricky concept

[@nighttime9539]

Nice explanation.

[@suleimanshaibu3087]

Well done your explanation is simple and it makes sense. Well done again

[@kaleemahmed7724]

Thank you for sharing it. Explains everything.

[@XDFcooler]

We should eat more Cookies, they're very nice.

[@ariostaba664]

6:36 Twitter cookie I am kidding nice video!

[@florincaroli3173]

Hello! I understood the Facebook example, but what about Google? How does a website that has Google Analytics can track me? Thank you!

[@jairunet]

Excellent, and thank you for another simple explanation 🙇‍♂

[@heyllootoyou]

If I have many cookies in the site settings of sites that I don't know, what should I do then?

[@ThomasDubuisson]

Thx! Great video and content! By any chance, would you share the script of this video or is it available on your website? Thanks again!

[@simplyexplained]

Nope

[@Gorky25]

Does that mean I can copy-paste someone's cookie from his computer and run it on my computer? Because there are all that it needs to be logged in? Or cookie can detect IP address and prevent it?

[@helenarichard]

Every website now demands our permission to use cookies... And we give our permission... we haven't got a foot to stand on anymore now... the government makes things even worse. We are being recorded wherever we go, whatever we do, whether our phones are on or off...

[@swaggyskye]

Hi ! I'd like to know when will the cookies be sent to the third-party apps from the example of blog to facebook. When the blog has facebook cookies and I enter the blog's website? or when I click on the like button? thanks!

[@mibrahim4245]

What do you mean by the "session cookie"? What I know is that session is on the server side and never stored on your computer that it contains sensitive data like users particular data fetched from the database! .. while cookies are stored on your pc and can be seen by anyone has access to that computer and they last for longer times than sessions that are destroyed at the browser closure or a sign out button! So what did I miss here? I hope you answer.. thanks

[@JBudOner]

Thank you for not being biased! I realize I'm in the minority here being in favour of cookie tracking, and its frustrating seeing the pitchforks raised w/out any reasonable discussions behind it

[@sodthelotayou3712]

Pitchforks are being raised because permission is not being sought and you're naive if you believe that no one will, if they can, take liberties. Take it you don't care about the concept of privacy.

[@DavidDay-j4g]

It's a pleasure to watch.

[@emilioortega9487]

I didn't get in the minute 3:55, so when the blogs communicate with Facebook servers then the blogs in that communication send the information of the cookie (of the blog) stored in the user browser to facebook ???

[@caiqueandrade6259]

Awesome explanation. Thanks!

[@chashlovers6027]

Which App do you use Buddy to Create These Awesome Videos??

[@lorenz4594]

3:50 doesn't the website need to access facebooks cookies to send them? it needs to get them somehow in order to send them. you said that websites can't access cookies from other websites though. what am I missing here?

[@iezioaudi22]

That was a great explanation! Keep up the good work! :D

[@shiso9535]

Thank you so much, great video and great explanation, really helped me a lot for school

[@jscriber100]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks alot!!

[@alin7303]

even if you press i accept one time, you can still be hacked? And even if you close your tab its still possible?

[@TheSunnySideofCoffee]

This was very useful. Thank you very much!

[@ocamlmail]

Thank you for video. Fb knows that I visit some page even if I don't interact with like button(click on it), or because of it's presence on page?

[@mohamedelboukhari8303]

Great video Sir. I learn a lot. Many Thanks.

[@minhluudinh5522]

great explanation. Thank you!

[@hem89180]

You are the best. Thanks

[@Sajanoberoy]

Legendary explainer😘. Love from India🇮🇳

[@eva-nt5bv]

Thank you so much for this fulfill information 🤝💛

[@ifaceTech]

Great channel, I've learned a lot. You're very clear and to the point.

[@ИменяФамильев]

What's the music on background, please?

[@Jerepaukan]

I was watching something on KZbin and I left it open hen went onto fb and than I saw the exact same content creator posting the SAME VIDEO I was watching

[@nurmuslihah585]

This is so creepy. I'm an android user. Can I download Safari and will not get tracked?

[@shubhamaggarwal9642]

thanks a lot for this beautiful content

[@GK-rl5du]

Hi @savjee firstly thanks a lot for the wonderful easy to digest content, secondly can you please share the resources that helped you in putting together this content, so anyone interested in diving deep into the topic can follow on.

[@simplyexplained]

The sources for my videos are always noted in the description (link to my website)

[@GK-rl5du]

I thought I checked the description box... but apparently not. Anyway thanks for pointing it out.

[@neha7714]

Hi with same dusi the resolution is decreasing and increasing, is this a cookie theft ?

[@jching3868]

Thank you and I learn! please stay safe.

[@Dragoncreativelabs]

Super simple! Thanks!

[@ghosty70001]

am using google chrome and my facebook account keeps logging out automatically ... and it does the same with internet explorer. It does that only with my facebook acount but it doesn't do it with other facebook accounts. Why does this happen? can you help me?

[@robinmcguire6010]

Your explanation was helpful, however, if I give you a thumbs up aren't I exposing myself to KZbin's cookies? ha ha

[@MP-vf8qz]

We should be able to vote on these trackers, many companies are getting very rich selling all of our information ( maybe doing malicious acts with this info).

[@ЮрийРусалёв]

Great chanel! Now everything is clear.

[@TheKimJAK]

Thank u, I understand it now 👍

[@mikeduffy67]

That was well explained, thank you.

[@vaultdweller123]

the last time im this early, cookies are delicious, we eat them :)

[@vaibhavsaxena7932]

very nicely explained

[@kazuki32_z75]

even your Ip and other bunch of privacy from phone or pc can track by cookies?

[@Vokofe]

Question about those annoying cookie banners: If I don't click Agree and leave it there, does this mean no cookie will be installed to my computer?

[@charan_75]

If I am not logged into Facebook and visited a blog that contains a like button from fb. Would Facebook still know that I visited that website?

[@rishimitranath]

Interesting Savjee

[@projectjt3149]

So what does Basic Attention Tokens factor into this?

[@SRY4EatnyourSandwich]

Very Nice. Like that style

[@jamescarroll9981]

Good video it learning people to take action and switch off cookies, which in will reduce the size of the tech giants buy cutting there revenue

[@janiyahaning5292]

How do you switch it off?

[@leonhannemann5231]

[@alastairtheduke]

Why can't browsers not allow a like button on a site to send facebook's previously stored cookie?

[@Rudra-go6us]
