An HTTP cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user's computer by the user's web browser while the user is browsing.

Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember stateful information (such as items added in the shopping cart in an online store) or to record the user's browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past).

They can also be used to remember arbitrary pieces of information that the user previously entered into form fields such as names, addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers.

Advertising is an audio or visual form of marketing communication that employs an openly sponsored, non-personal message to promote or sell a product, service or idea.

Sponsors of advertising are typically businesses wishing to promote their products or services.

Advertising is differentiated from public relations in that an advertiser pays for and has control over the message.

It differs from personal selling in that the message is non-personal, i.e., not directed to a particular individual.

Telephone tapping (also wire tapping or wiretapping in American English) is the monitoring of telephone and Internet conversations by a third party, often by covert means.

The wire tap received its name because, historically, the monitoring connection was an actual electrical tap on the telephone line.

Legal wiretapping by a government agency is also called lawful interception.

Passive wiretapping monitors or records the traffic, while active wiretapping alters or otherwise affects it.
