Authentication cookies are a special type of web cookie used to identify and verify a user after they log in to a website or web application.


What They Do:

Once you log in to a site, the server creates an authentication cookie and sends it to your browser. This cookie:

  • Proves to the website that you're logged in

  • Prevents you from having to log in again on every page you visit

  • Can persist across sessions if you select "Remember me"


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:

  • How users navigate the site

  • Which pages are most/least visited

  • How long users stay on each page

  • 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)

Here’s how you can disable cookies in common browsers:

1. Google Chrome

  • Open Chrome and click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner.

  • Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.

  • Choose your preferred option:

    • Block all cookies (not recommended, can break most websites).

    • Block third-party cookies (can block ads and tracking cookies).

2. Mozilla Firefox

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

  • Go to Settings > Privacy & Security.

  • Under the Enhanced Tracking Protection section, choose Strict to block most cookies or Custom to manually choose which cookies to block.

3. Safari

  • Select your cookie settings from there, including blocking all cookies or blocking third-party cookies.

5. On Mobile (iOS/Android)

  • For Safari on iOS: Go to Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security > Block All Cookies.

  • For Chrome on Android: Open the app, tap the three dots, go to Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies.

Be Aware:

Disabling cookies can make your online experience more difficult. Some websites may not load properly, or you may be logged out frequently. Also, certain features may not work as expected.
