Cookies are small files of information generated by web servers and sent to web browsers. They can be useful for remembering user logins but are also used for tracking and advertising, raising privacy concerns. The ePrivacy Directive mandates transparency and user consent for cookie usage. Page Shield Cookie Monitor has been developed to provide a comprehensive view of first-party cookies on websites without the need for scanner bots. First-party cookies are set by the website owner and used for site-specific tracking, while third-party cookies are set by external organizations for cross-domain tracking. Browsers like Firefox and Safari have started blocking third-party cookies, leading to advancements in tracking technology using first-party cookies. Page Shield Cookie Monitor simplifies cookie inventory and monitoring, offering alerts for newly detected cookies for compliance purposes.
