Targeting cookies are typically set by advertising networks with the website operator’s consent. They track that a user has visited a website and share this information with other entities, such as advertising firms. These cookies are often linked to site functionalities provided by these entities. Thus, we use targeting cookies to connect with social networks, which may use your visit data to customize advertising on other sites.
