What's Inside an Authentication Cookie?

Typically, it contains:

  • A unique session ID (not your actual password)

  • Optional metadata (e.g., expiration time, security flags)

Analytics cookies are cookies used to collect data about how visitors interact with a website. Their primary purpose is to help website owners understand and improve user experience by analyzing things like:

  • What device, browser, or location the user is from


What They Track:

Some examples of data analytics cookies may collect:

  • Page views and time spent on pages

  • Click paths (how users move from page to page)

  • Bounce rate (users who leave without interacting)

  • User demographics (location, language, device)

  • Referring websites (how users arrived at the site)

2. Mozilla Firefox

  • Open Firefox and click the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner.
