<p>You can specify whether you want to accept cookies and from which
websites.</p>

<item>
<p>Open
<guiseq><gui style="menu">Web</gui><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui><gui style="tab">Privacy</gui></guiseq>.</p>

<item>
<p>Select whether you want to accept cookies from all websites, only from
websites which you have visited or to not accept any cookies.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>You should normally use <gui>Only from sites you visit</gui> because this
option allows you to log into your accounts on most websites while preventing
websites that you have not visited from leaving cookies.</p>
<p>If you chose to accept cookies from <gui>All websites</gui>, then websites
that you have not visited will be able to leave <em>third party cookies</em>.
Third party cookies are often used by advertisers and social media websites
to track your activity across websites and offer targeted content. Note that
some websites, such as Outlook.com, use third party cookies to monitor
whether you are logged in.</p>
<p>If you <gui>Never accept</gui> cookies, you may have trouble logging into
your accounts on some websites.</p>
