Cookies set by the operator of a website (in this case, Search.io) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than Search.io are called “third party cookies”. Third Party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Websites (for example advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer or mobile device both when it visits the Websites in question and also when it visits certain other websites.‍
